    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, following the Government’s way of working under collective responsibility, I do beg to reply for and on behalf of the Ministry of Public Health and Sanitation. (a) In line with Constitutional alignment, my Ministry has finalized the Health Bill, which envisages establishment of structures that have functions of equal footing as the Public Health (Standards) Board and Central Board of Health as provided for in the Food, Drugs and Chemical Substances Act Cap.254 and Public Health Act Cap.242, respectively. (b) No, an operational Central Health Board of Health has not been established. However, in regard to operationalization of Central Health Board of Health as provided for in the Public Health Act Cap.242, Laws of Kenya the Health Bill makes provision for a Health Council. (c) The establishment of rehabilitation centres is addressed in the proposed Health Bill, which stipulates that appropriate policies shall be developed by the Health Council and formally adopted to protect the rights of any individual suffering from any mental disorder or deficiency. Currently, there are two rehabilitation centres each in Nairobi and Mombasa."
