    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I hope that Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. can pay attention to what I am saying. Sadly, yesterday the President signed a Bill into law that is purporting to amend various institutions of health in the country. I would like to inform the nation that, that is not law for purpose of our Constitution. The law that receive Presidential assent yesterday cannot be enforced anywhere in this Republic because it did not go through the required legal mechanism of passing a law. I would also like to inform the Republic that in so far as matters of health are concerned, the national and county governments have concurrent jurisdiction. The official position under our Constitution is that, that law cannot be applied anywhere. The honest truth that must be said in this Republic is that any member of the public who is being pushed to apply that law must not obey it and if they feel that they are being pushed, they have a responsibility to go to the High Court of Kenya to declare that law null and void so that the process can begin afresh where the law will come to both Houses of Parliament."
