    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I propose that the definition of the public health facility be amended to include maternal healthcare, so that expectant mothers are not left behind. I have listened to the proposals that have been made by Sen. Osotsi on Clause 5 of the Bill and he has a point. There is need for a clarification on that clause. An amended can be introduced to state as follows: “where there is a conflict between the provisions of this Act and the provisions of any other laws made in the county or enacted within the county in matters relating to the Public Health Facility Improvement Financing the provisions of this Act shall prevail.” We only subject them to laws that are enacted at county level. There is an Article in the Constitution that clearly enunciate that if any law in Kenya is in conflict with the provisions of the Constitution, then the Constitution prevails. This is an amendment that can be introduced. 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."
