    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to take this opportunity to support this Bill and also wish everyone in Kenya and in Parliament a happy new year. I would like to take this opportunity to also pass my condolences to our Temporary Deputy Speaker over his councillor, the first lady councillor from Chama Cha Uzalendo (CCU) who passed on last night through a horrific road accident. Their matatu rammed into a lorry. We wish you well and we are with you and your constituents at this time when you are mourning Councillor Lydia Gituma and her husband. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I stand to support this Bill because most people in this country die due to lack of medicine. We have stores that have no drugs. When medicine is being supplied by the Ministry, sometimes money can be diverted somewhere else depending on their priorities. I stand to support the Bill because I know what we have done as Members of Parliament. We have built many dispensaries and health centres, but they are just empty shells without medicine and without doctors. By devolving the supply of medicine, it will save many people in the counties. So, I stand to support. I wish you all a happy new year, good health and peaceful elections."
