However, plans to table it during the September 2021 parliament session failed. According to the minister of health, community development, gender, elderly and children, Dr Dorothy Gwajima, the bill is has taken long to be tabled because it had to pass through a lot of stages to ensure precision and accuracy including ministerial stages, permanent secretaries, the cabinet and the parliamentary constitution and legal affairs Committee.
