"content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, lastly, the doctors are requesting and urging us to look at their scheme of service, in terms of advancement, succession management and career planning. How is it hard for this Senate to develop directive resolutions for the doctors? As a young person, I stand here disappointed that the Senate got an opportunity to pronounce itself on this matter and we lost that opportunity. This is because we did not give directive resolutions that can rethink the entire the healthcare infrastructure of this country, which is devolved entirely under Schedule IV to devolved functions. It is our mandate. Chairpersons of different committees of this House should be bold when it comes to devolved functions. You can make bolder pronouncements than what we have seen here. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I hope that the doctors will listen to Sen. Sifuna and I, and go back to work. I hope that one day, sooner than later, a government will come in place to listen to your cries. I also hope that the President has seen how the Senate has failed the doctors. Probably the President will be bolder to endorse some of these schemes of services that the doctors want to dissolve. I thank you."
