    "content": "me in checking some of them. I will give the Committee a list because there are many such complaints and not just on this one for Ms. Assaf. I am glad to note that there is a recommendation to fine the hospital Kshs3 million because of this. Kenyans are coming to us with statements and petitions because they feel that this House has been able to respond and is playing its part. As I conclude, my earlier contention was that even as we deal with this, let it be done in accordance with our Standing Orders. Earlier on when I raised the matter when Sen. Madzayo was speaking, it was not because I do not agree with the issues, but because we must express these things according to the rules we have. Sen. Mwaruma will tell you how close I am to the people of the Coast, especially Taita Taveta. I have been at the forefront in fighting for them, including when we were discussing the allocation of revenue. I understand their issues. Our rules hold that when we make a Statement, we must be able to substantiate. I want to thank the Committee on Health. I sympathize with the chairperson of the Committee of Lands, Sen. Mwangi. Today we were in the Liaison Committee and we noted that his Committee has 25 petitions, including the one on Lang’ata Royal Park. The next Committee with the closest, has five petitions. I think we will need to do something special to help Sen. Mwangi and his Committee expedite those petitions. Having to deal with 25 petitions within a 60- day time limit might need other committees to assist or for him to split his Committee. However, administratively we will need guidance on how to help him deal with all those petitions. I want to congratulate him because despite being one of the oldest chairs, he is the most vigorous and vibrant of all the Committee Chairpersons in the Senate of the Republic of Kenya. Thank you, Sen. Mwangi and thank you, Health Committee. Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker."
