    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I have been waiting patiently to add my voice to the report by the Chairperson of the Committee on Health. Before I make my comments, I would like to remind this House that this Government was voted in on the basis that we recognize each and every individual and value them. I have been listening keenly to our Whip, Sen. Sifuna, the doctors here with Doctor of Philosophy (PhDs,) the lawyers who always remind us that they are smarter than us and all the people who think they are better than other Kenyans. I have been sitting here wondering whether they understand that all the 47 delegations plus the 20 nominated Senators are here on a platform of equity. Whether you are a doctor, lawyer, mama mboga, mama karanga like our “Mama Haki”, the nominated Senator from Mombasa, we all sit on the same seats. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, whenever a conversation is brought to this House and I hear lawyers saying that as a lawyer--- What are you talking about? We are all Senators. We are all elected or nominated to represent the same Kenyans. It is just a reminder to this House. You might think you know everything, but just as Sen. Sifuna pointed out, we do not know everything."
