    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is a serious matter and I thank Sen. Wangari for bringing it. Health is a devolved function and being so, the purview of recruiting staff for devolved units of health rests with the county governments, nothing less. That is why you see every day in the counties strikes by medical staff for non-payment, inadequate payment and all manner of things. Now, what the Chairman has told us – and I thank him for his candor – that the Ministry of Health at the headquarters is recruiting staff for counties alleging delegation and consultation. He has told us that the counties have disputed that there has been neither delegation nor consultation. This is an illegality, annulity, unconstitutionality and one of the many processes of undermining devolution. Mr. Speaker, Sir, could the Chairman tell us – I know he has already indicated that it ought to stop – at the end of this session extract a direction from you as the Speaker of this House to the Ministry of Health to stop the unlawful recruitment of staff on behalf of counties where they have no delegation or consultation?"
