    "content": "to move from one county to another and timely payment of salaries. This is unlike our doctors. I was just drawing a parallel. I wish to challenge Sen. Mandago, whom I agree with on most of the things he said. When doctors transfer from one county to another, this is where hell begins most of the time. I recently spoke to a friend who is a doctor and he pointed out to me that they moved their services from Elgeyo Marakwet to Bomet County. He said that for the last four months, they have been trying to get the unique number for public servants, the Integrated Personnel and Payroll Database (IPPD) number. You can imagine the form and shape of our doctors. Most of them are not in the form of activists where they know how to push and chase things around. When they are professionally told to wait and that it is being handled, many of them will dutifully execute their job. Imagine staying for three, four or five months, without pay. In the non-skilled sector, they do not have these challenges. That is why I picked on the one for doctors. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I challenge Sen. Mandago, the Chairperson of the Committee on Health, based on his experience as a former two-terms county governor is to crack for us the issue of transfer of services for doctors. They should not lose their benefits, they should get promotions and are paid equally across counties so the challenges they usually raise when we meet them are sorted. It is a challenge that needs to be addressed."
