    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I am actually surprised that we have hijacked debate on a Bill by trying to pre-empt it from coming to the Floor. I want to, first of all, clarify that contrary to what the Senior Counsel has said that this Bill purports to link the Act to the Constitution, it is very clear you have not read the Bill. If you had, you would see that Clause 9 is about changing the nomenclature to “Cabinet Secretary” in line with the new Constitution. That is across many other laws. So, it is actually true that the Bill is premised on aligning various laws in the health sector to the Constitution. The Bill is not based only on professional bodies. The Kenya Medical Supplies Authority (KEMSA) and National Hospital Insurance Fund NHIF are not professional bodies but they are being affected. The Bill affects several laws in the health sector and this is not the first time this is happening. We did it in 2017. We have done it with the Tax Laws (Amendment) Act, where we looked at all laws to do with tax and amended them within one omnibus Bill. The thread that runs across the Bill is the management bodies of all those institutions under the health sector. Whether you bring 27 standalone Bills or one Bill… I remember we had this discussion just last week at The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
