    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am sorry because of my colleagues who may not have contributed to this Motion. Hon. Members have contributed to this Motion for the last three hours and it is not possible for everyone to contribute to it even within the 10 minutes I have donated. However, I want to thank every Member of this Parliament who has supported it. The Constitution provides the right to health. I want to make it very clear that the Constitution that we have now does not bar the national Government from employing health officers. In fact, there is nothing like mutual exclusivity in terms of the roles of the county governments and the national Government. There is nothing legally, morally or technically wrong in the national Government employing nurses. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, when we did the Constitution, we realized that we cannot leave this role to the counties. That is why even as I speak today, teachers are employed nationally and not at the county level. That is what we are talking about. So, the argument about moving this to the county, as much as devolution is the best thing--- On this particular issue, you will realize that the capacity is lacking. Therefore, we need to go that way. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
