The most recent one which is still in our memories is the assent by the President of the Health Act. When you look at the Fourth Schedule, one of the main functions that have been devolved is the health function. view
• 22 May 2019 in Senate: This is a timely Bill that will allow us to sort out many differences that we have been having between the National Assembly and the Senate because the National Assembly has become a death bed of Bills that originate from the Senate.
