    "content": "agreed upon is as binding as what Hon. Nakhumicha will agree with the doctors. I want to appeal to Hon. Nakhumicha to relax. You are our kid sister. Relax completely. You were in Ikolomani a few months ago and you said you were going to demote Iguhu Hospital because you found the mortuary and ambulance services having a problem. That is not your role as Cabinet Secretary. Yours is to correct and improve where things are not working. I appeal to my sister and tell her that, when your day will come, you will be alone, ask Linturi. Today, Linturi is facing the music alone. Accountability is an individual issue. Cabinet Secretary, go all out of your way and help the Government to fix the problem of doctors returning to duty. It is not difficult. The Chairman of the Standing Committee is not here. I think they are looking for Kshs4.9 billion. If you take the Kshs200 million per consistency times 290, it is Kshs58 billion. If you just remove Kshs4.9 billion so that a Member of Parliament (MPs) gets slightly less National Government Constituencies Development fund (NG-CDF) than they are getting, you will pay the doctors and there will be no noise. There is a young man called Ndindi Nyoro, the Chairman of the Budget and Appropriations Committee; the committee in the National Assembly that advises Parliament on issues of appropriation. My good brother Ndindi Nyoro, relax and work. Instead of setting your eye on an imaginary year called 2032, where your age mates are telling you that you will be ABCD concentrate and do your work for a few years. Before you, there was Mutava Musyimi and before him, there were others. Do not use that opportunity to deny key players the benefit of support from the common wealth of this country called, the budget. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I will continue insisting that doctors should be supported to go back to duty, so that we help President William Ruto succeed. If in his tenure for five years, it will go down in his history that the medical services collapsed, it is the single agenda that will cause the voters not want to re-elect our Government. So, those of us who are supporting that agenda of doctors to be paid, are the ones helping the President get re-elected in 2027. There is no shortcut. It is a question of calling people to the polling station. I am happy that the Chairperson of the Committee on Health has put in his best. We support you. I know how limited your input can be if you do not enjoy the powers of the Cabinet, but that does not mean that we shall give up. We will only look for better ways of making sure that doctors return to hospital. Finally, let me allow some people to hate doctors and call them the names they want. Even if you do not like doctors, then like the patients because, it is in the patients that you find your wife, your children and your parents. Therefore, if you do not learn to like your parents, your wife, your children and your friends, when you lose them, the doctors do not come to bury them, you will bury them. I am glad that the Senator for Nandi has come back. How I wish we could change Standing Orders so that he could be given another chance to apologise to doctors."
