    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, the United Kingdom was able to deal with the Coronavirus pandemic using its own public health sector. The Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, was treated in a public hospital when he had COVID-19. However, in this country, how many of us, including those of us who are in this House, will go to Kenyatta National Hospital to be treated for COVID-19 or any other disease? The sector that has actually been abandoned completely is the health sector. We are busy building big highways, structures and buildings across the country. If you go to Kakamega, you will see a huge structure in the name of Kakamega Referral Hospital. But if you audit the health sector itself, the provision of the real health and the protection of the human resource, because that is the driving engine in the health sector--- The human resource is the most important element in terms of dealing with the health issues. You will realise that there is no much regard. Why? It is because if you pay doctors, nurses, clinical officers, public health workers and all health workers in the country, you do not get a kickback because there is no brokership in the middle of it. If you pay them well, perhaps it is not seen. You cannot go around and show the structures built. The well-being of your people is more important than the big structures we build in this country. We need to start changing not just from the leadership perspective, but from citizens in demanding real issues; good education and health."
