    "content": "Thank you, hon. Speaker. Whereas we can blame the TA for not acting as per the requirement of the Constitution, the Constitution has stipulated a staggered transfer of functions. Apart from that the Constitution recognizes that counties cannot be at the same level of preparedness. Therefore, something should have been done in a way that the counties which were ready would have taken over the functions which they were ready to handle. Hon. Speaker, you remember that there was a political decision which was made at State House in a summit meeting. The President decided to pass over all the functions to the governors, and this we cannot reverse now. This is because Article 187 says that you can only reverse functions upon an agreement between the governments. So, county governments should accept that the health function should be reverted to the national Government."
