Members who never go and meet those doctors. I am sure they will not address them the way you are directing me to address them. However, since I am a Member of this House, I will address them as you have directed me. It is extremely frustrating that these doctors have sat down, and I applaud the efforts of the Committee by Sen. Mandago because he has given it his all. He has always invited us to his Committee meetings. The last time I was in the Committee sitting, the Council of Governors refused to show up. We were given information that they were watching the proceedings from the comfort of their offices. Yet we wanted everybody in the building, so that we could try and see what the issue is. I attended the last meeting of the Committee on Health after I heard none other than the Head of State saying that they had agreed on 16 out of 18 issues and only two issues were remaining. When I went to Sen. Mandago's Committee, I expected that we would start with those two issues that had not been resolved. However, we have members of the Council of Governors sitting in the meeting who say that they did not know who some of the doctors' representatives were and did not have recognition agreements with them. How do you begin from scratch and yet this matter has been going on for a long time? In light of the fight that has been taken to the door of doctors, Dr. Davji Atellah, the Secretary General of Kenya Medical Practitioners Pharmacists and Dentists Union (KMPDU), was not known for wearing hats on his head. He is trying to hide his scar"
