    "content": " Order, Sen. Wako! You could do more with a bit of listening. It is not a debate, there were just clarifications. Order, Members! I see that Sen. Ndiema is interested. However, this is a straightforward matter. Definitely, there is a dispute between the Ministry of Health at the national level and the Council of Governors (CoGs). A Member has sought a statement to clarify on what was actually advertised. I have received in my office a complaint letter from the CoGs raising the same matter. So, I am going to direct as follows:- First, the provisions of the Constitution with regard to Sovereignty of the People says: 1 (1) All sovereign power belongs to the people of Kenya and shall be exercised only in accordance with this Constitution. (3) Sovereign power under this Constitution is delegated to the following state organs, which shall perform their functions in accordance with the Constitution- (b) the national executive and the executive structures in the county governments. Article 1(4) provides that:- “The sovereign power of the people is exercised at— ( a ) the national level; and, ( b ) the county level.” Article 6 (1) provides that:- “The territory of Kenya is divided into the counties specified in the First Schedule. Article 6(2), which the Chairman quoted, gives the modus operandi on how that relationship can operate. It provides that:- “The governments at the national and county levels are distinct and inter- dependent and shall conduct their mutual relations on the basis of consultation and cooperation.” 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"
