    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker and Hon. Washiali. I stand to second this Motion on this Sessional Paper No.2 of 2017. This is a Sessional Paper that covers the 2014 – 2030 period. The first Sessional Paper covered the 1994 – 2010 period. This Policy represents commitment towards improving the health of the people of Kenya by significantly reducing ill health to levels similar to those of middle-income countries. Those are middle- income countries such as Argentina, Brazil, Egypt and Indonesia. As you are aware, we passed the Health Bill in the last Parliament. In this Policy, Kenya has a devolved health system. It is both at the national level and at the county level. This Policy looks at all these levels of the various health functions and the health agenda which represents a radical departure from past approaches to addressing the health challenges in the country. It is based on the Constitution of Kenya 2010, Vision 2030 and Kenya’s global health commitments. The Policy was developed through an inclusive and participatory process which involved all stakeholders in the health sector and related sectors over a period of two years. A situational analysis based on the review of the progress made in the implementation of the previous framework - that is the 1994 – 2010 - was undertaken to provide evidence of the challenges affecting the health sector, existing opportunities and to define the necessary interventions. Currently, the world talks about evidence-based medicine. What is the experience in terms of carrying out certain innovative health issues? This is a very comprehensive document that defines the monitoring and evaluation framework to enable tracking of the progress made in achieving the objectives in the health sector. Therefore, it is a document that Members can read and understand. It will take our country to the next step. With those few remarks, I beg to second."
