    "content": "I now take this opportunity to take the House through the clauses. On Clause 5, the Senate amendment was that Clause 5 of the Bill be amended by inserting the following new subsections immediately after subsection 2, “The national and the county governments shall ensure the provision of free and compulsory vaccination for children under the age of 5 and maternity care” and “For the purpose of implementing subsection 3, the national Government shall in consultation with the respective county governments provide conditional grants to county governments. The justification of the Senate was that the amendment sought to anchor into legislation provision of free maternity and also ensure provisions of funds through conditional grants to cater for service. The Committee’s recommendation was that the Committee agreed with the proposed amendment to Clause 5(3) with further amendment to delete the word “compulsory”. The Committee rejects the Senate Amendments to Clause 5(4) and the justification was to legislate for conditional grants goes against best practise and causes rigidity in law. The Mediation Committee resolved that Members agreed with the proposal by the Senate to insert the following new Sub-clause (4) to read as follows: The purpose of implementing subsection (3), the national Government shall in consultation with respective county governments provide funds to the county governments.” The justification was that the amendments seek to anchor into legislation provision of free maternity and ensure provision of funds to cater for both services."
