    "content": "Hon. Members, first, I wish to remind you that Standing Order 216(5) mandates Departmental Committees to, among other functions, investigate, inquire into and report on all matters relating to the mandate, management, activities, administration, operations and estimates of the assigned ministries and departments. Once a Committee has inquired into a matter and reported to the House, the House considers the report, and makes a decision on it, guided by the Standing Orders. The decision to inquire into any particular matter is therefore entirely that of a Committee, so long as the subject is within its mandate. In this particular case, the Committee on Health clearly indicated that the matter was first brought to its attention by the Member for Kisumu Town East, Hon. Shakeel Shabbir in the Eleventh Parliament through letters dated 19th November 2014 and 17th February 2016, respectively. The Report also indicates that Hon. Shakeel asked the Committee to look into the matter again through a letter dated 14th March 2018."
