    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. There have been a many issues which have been raised by the Senators who have spoken on this amendment Bill. First and foremost, I thank all those Senators who have contributed to this Bill. That is a total of 18. The Seconder, Sen. Wambua; Sen. Wetangula, Sen. Farhiya, Sen. (Dr.) Musuruve, Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr., Sen. (Dr.) Milgo, Sen. (Dr.) Zani, Sen. Kasanga, Sen. Murkomen, Sen. Kihika, Sen. Kavindu Muthama, Sen. (Eng.) Hargura, Sen. M. Kajwang’, Sen. Cheruiyot, Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki, Sen. Dullo, Sen. Cherargei and Sen. Kang’ata. Most of these Senators have talked about how the Bill will be nice and good if it can be implemented. Even the Council of Governors (CoG) has sent comments. I feel that they should not fear or see this amendment as a threat to devolution, but as an amendment to support the healthcare professionals, who are very critical to the county governments. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, many Members have talked about what happens if some of the county governments do not agree or listen to what the advisory committee does. I urge them to do it because the issue is how to help the morale and the working conditions of the county health professionals. Otherwise, it will just remain the same and not be helpful. We might need to change or bring about some amendments to the County Governments Act, so that the issue of constitutionality of the health professionals in the counties can be taken care of."
