    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I want to thank Hon. Janet and the Public Petitions Committee for the opportunity they accorded me and the petitioners. The cries from the gate emanate from our medical doctor interns demonstrating in the street. I want to inform the members that the Ministry of Health assured me in the morning that they already have letters posting intern doctors to various hospitals. They just need to pick their letters. Their Petition is already in the House, and it is being prosecuted. The money meant for the registrars has already been sent to the various universities. Those are the two national issues the Ministry should deal with. The other issues that pertain to the CBA's agreement and fulfillment are supposed to be dealt with by the various counties. The Departmental Committee on Health and the Standing Committee on Health had scheduled a meeting tomorrow. Unfortunately, tomorrow is a public holiday for our Muslim brothers who were fasting. They will be breaking their fast. We have rescheduled the meeting to Tuesday next week. We need to get briefings from the Ministry of Health, National Treasury, SRC, and the Ministry of Education on the progress made in fulfilling part of the Petition. We want to encourage the Public Petitions Committee to move forward and come up with various recommendations. When people come to picket at the Parliament's Gate, they usually want to hand over a petition, but this is not the case now. As we speak, they have already given their Petition to the Public Petitions Committee, which I prosecuted in this House. They do not have any other petitions to hand over. All the petitions are being prosecuted by the Committee led by Hon. Janet Sitienei, and we are happy with the progress. I urge our doctors to go to the Ministry of Health to collect their posting letters and report to their various stations. Hon. Speaker, with those few remarks, I thank you."
