    "content": "On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The distinguished Senator for Nyeri is partly right. Procurement of medicine is still a national function, together with policy, as he has already mentioned. There are times when the county governments are able to work but procurement of medicine is delayed. There was a time when there was a crisis in the country when there was no medicine for Tuberculosis (TB). More importantly, I think you should equally direct that within the context of Article 6(2) of the Constitution, the national and the county governments are interdependent and conduct their distinct and mutual relations on the basis of consultation and cooperation. This is where the two levels of Government can work together. Health is too important for anybody to pass the buck either from the national Government or the county government. I want to encourage, as Sen. Billow said, that this very important question of Sen. Khaniri can be used to get the Ministry to tell the House and the country how they are managing what we require to be seamless supply of critical medicine to every county. We all come from rural counties where people are dying like flies due to diseases that are preventable. You have about 30 burials in one constituency every time you go home and it is unacceptable."
