    "content": "As we speak today, there is nothing in the Constitution stopping the national Government from recalling and dealing with the scourge of cancer. More importantly Article 186 (3) of the Constitution makes it very clear that any function that is not expressly devolved is retained by the national Government. To that extent, all the general issues of health have not been expressly devolved to the counties. I support this Motion and advise that we need to do more generally as Parliament, and as a country, if we want to contain the scourge of cancer. We need to disabuse ourselves of the supposition that the provisions of the Constitution can constrain us because they do not."
