    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Licensing of county business is a function of counties. The law we are making is a national law that guides the 47 counties to come up with some uniform operations around the issue of licensing. Does that give constitutional power back to the central Government to do that? No. We are saying that two counties can come together and cooperate and consult to do something. For instance, that is what Article 189 on Intergovernmental Relations contemplates, that you can come together. That is the thinking that informed the coming together of the regional blocks. This is because they feel we are in the same region, we can come together and we can decide that instead of the 14 counties in the Lake Region Economic Block (LREB) coming up with 14 hospitals, all doing orthopaedic surgery, they can agree to have Homa Bay County do all orthopaedic business and Kisumu to do all cardiology business. All our people will go to Homa Bay and Kisumu counties The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard Services,Senate."
