The Health Laws (Amendment) Bill, I think, was ill advised. Health...

Hon. (Dr.) Eseli Simiyu (Tongaren, FORD-K) Thank you Hon. Speaker for your considered and judicious ruling considering that you are the head of this legislature. It, therefore, behooves you to always give direction. In your second Communication, you mentioned a very important Article of the Constitution, Article 95, which talks...
