    "content": "Thank you very much, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. In addition to the points that have been raised by The Senate Minority Leader, I want to also say that this Petition flies in the face of our constitutional mandate as the Senate, which is to protect the counties and their governments. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, if you look at this Petition, it says:- “Whereas they support devolution of certain functions in the health sector which may be ready---” It goes on to say:- “such as utilization for infrastructure development---” They say there is no problem in terms of what it says about devolution in terms of infrastructure development; it is ready. It goes on to say:- “procurement of equipment and supplies, utilization of funds raised through cost-sharing and certain human resource functions such as staffing, internal transfer of nurses within the county and settlement of disciplinary cases---” In other words, what this Petition is saying is that, even in terms of the human resources, you can do staffing. What does staffing mean? It means that you can recruit staff; staffing means that you have to set their emoluments and you have to pay them. In addition, it is talking about the fact that you can do transfers and disciplining. Then you say that, in terms of salaries, we should leave it to Nairobi. It does not make sense! I mean, it does not make sense! The second point, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it says in the Petition:- The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
