    "content": "Okay. So, I can continue. Thank you. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the roles when it comes to national policy and strategy are fine. That is in the policy of the national Government, so that we ensure that the standards of healthcare in one county are exactly the same in the other. Therefore, we will not have some counties with very high standards of healthcare and others without. This Bill gives us an opportunity to align legislation with the provisions of the Constitution. I will be asking the promoter of the Bill to put in black and white that when it comes to the operation of the national Government on matters health, then they are limited to the teaching and referral hospitals such as Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH), Moi Teaching Referral Hospital, (MTRH), together with Coast General Hospital as well. I have another concern. The Bill seeks to make it mandatory for doctors or healthcare providers who are providing medical care to young children not to do so without the express permissions of a parent or a guardian. Whereas that maybe a good thing to do, we must also be guided by the reality of our time. There are parents and guardians who believe - and I have no authority to question what people believe - that they should never access medical care even when their children get sick. That, they should just be prayed for and they will get healed. If they die that is the will of God."
