    "content": "I congratulate our distinguished sister, Sen. Seneta, for thinking about health matters and ensuring that we match our desire to have devolution by introducing legislation that midwifes this process. This piece of legislation will go a long way in providing a platform for the voices and opinion of representatives of the CoG in the boards when policy and regulations are enunciated. It will provide a platform for representatives of county governments when matters that affect counties are discussed. When agreements that facilitate the work of our county governments are drafted and signed, representatives of the county governments will be there to articulate and amplify the positions of our county governments when it comes to making policy. If we do not support this Bill, the county governments will operate at the mercy and discretion of the Cabinet Secretary responsible for health yet the Constitution states that matters beyond policy are domiciled and belong to the county governments. Therefore, those matters have to be done according to the plans and the desires of the county governments for the citizens to reap the full benefit of devolution. The KEMSA will be resourced so as to enable it to provide medical supplies to the county governments. Therefore, its resources, methods of accessing those resources and the benefits of those resources should be pigeon holed in a way that will make all the county governments proud to be associated with its activities and programmes. With those remarks, I beg to support. I congratulate Sen. Seneta for coming up with this Bill. It is a step towards to right direction. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
