    "content": "quarantine, to isolation to universal access to community health issues, day time statistics, and even to some of the issues around projections. We made sure that we kept the ball on that area. The thematic areas of access, finances and thematic area of social economic, this Committee, as you remember, was in the news for having supported the most vulnerable people in our informal settlements to ensure that the land laws did not chase them away or did not throw them out. I know that was a bit controversial but that did a great deal to ensure that the dignity of our most vulnerable community members was taken care of by virtue of our representation on their behalf. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, under social order, social justice and public order when the policemen were highhanded, this Committee ensured that human dignity was observed and human rights were not violated. Even where such violations happened, the people were put to account. You will remember that we made sure that the Cabinet Secretary for Interior and Coordination of National Government and the Cabinet Secretary for Health were invited. They were held accountable and that they did the right thing. As you were told by the Chairperson, this Committee met diverse stakeholders from the private sector health workers and public sector healthcare workers. They also met community healthcare workers, associations of nurses and doctors, Kenya Medical Research Institute (KEMRI), among others. We ensured that under the thematic area of health issues, that all our health workers, including insurance companies such as NHIF covered the people that were not able to take care of medication or isolation for themselves"
