Hon. Adan Keynan (Eldas, JP) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Article 43 of our Constitution defines access to universal healthcare services as the right to the highest attainable health standards.

Hon. Adan Keynan (Eldas, JP) No. Sorry. I think you have limited your horizon of appreciation of this Bill, my dear sister. You need to look at the Bill holistically.

Hon. Adan Keynan (Eldas, JP) Let me say and read this. There is no confusion at all. The bit I am trying to say is this: If you look at both the letter and spirit of both Bills, there is a bit of reference to existing staff. I am sounding...

Hon. Adan Keynan (Eldas, JP) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. You have heard the Leader of the Majority Party cast aspersions on the leadership of the Minority side.

Hon. Adan Keynan (Eldas, JP) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. At the outset, I support this Report.

Hon. Adan Keynan (Eldas, JP) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. We have been here in the past Parliament. This ruling is Solomonic. I may not agree with every bit of it, but as Jubilee Party we expected you to declare us a parliamentary party.

Hon. Adan Keynan (Eldas, JP) But you have given us 30 days. I want to appeal to the mind of my good friend, Hon. Wandayi that the 30 days does not apply to Jubilee Party alone. Even Azimio Coalition must put its house in order and Jubilee is one of...
