    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I beg to ask the Cabinet Secretary for Health the following Question- (a) Could the Cabinet Secretary provide a detailed breakdown of the management and utilisation of the Tobacco Control Fund, specifically outlining how funds have been received and allocated as stipulated by Section 7 of the Tobacco Control Act 2007? (b) Could the Cabinet Secretary provide information on the measures the Ministry has put in place to improve transparency and accountability in the administration of the Tobacco Control Fund and how it plans to address the recent assessments indicating insufficient progress in advancing Tobacco Control efforts in Kenya in light of the influx of the oral nicotine pouches e-cigatette and such other products targeting the youth and children? (c) In light of the 2015 court case under Petition No.143 on the constitutionality of the Tobacco Control Regulations, could the Cabinet Secretary provide details on how the Ministry has ensured compliance with the regulations, particularly regarding the solartium contribution from tobacco manufacturers and importers? (d) How is tobacco control being coordinated with the Ministry across the country, especially in the context of devolution? Madam Temporary Speaker, I note that the answer was not in the bigger file, which came in earlier. While here, I have seen annexures which have come out, but I am ready to be guided with you and the CS. Thank you."
