    "content": "The Governor needs to be sober. One thing he must not do is to issue statements that are contrary to the Hippocratic Oath that doctors take. Doctors can never refuse to admit anybody. It is their province to treat people. Therefore, we need to increase our level of understanding. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the other one which is enclosing is our Chapter 6 on integrity issues. We must be tied to our democracy. When we elect or nominate people like my friend from Bungoma County said, let us nominate people who are not thieves so that they do not steal or harm people. We must combine our democracy with our integrity and values. As we talk about democracy, we must emphasize that next time you see somebody complaining that they have a bad governor, they knew that, that governor was bad when they were nominating and electing them. Then we call them later on and say that they are now stealing from us. We must begin to see the quality of people that we nominate to our parties. That is a challenge to party leaders like the Senator for Bungoma County. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I support and hopefully as a country, we celebrate with the rest of the world this day of democracy. Democracy is facing the challenge under this COVID-19. We have challenging times and can see even bigger democracies having problems. It looks like we are all the same when it comes to facing issues in the world. We must go back to a place where we are a league of nations and work together."
