    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, if you protected me from all these points of order, my thoughts would not have been lost. This issue of kazi ni kazi is a basis of the policies of Kenya Kwanza. I am magnifying that whether you are an intern, a doctor, a lawyer, a flight attendant, a controller of air traffic, a hustler or mama mboga, we are not going to debate the crisis that we have in the health sector on the basis that lawyers are the ones who should be allowed to contribute. Let me conclude by saying that I sit in the Committee on Labour and Social Welfare. The issue of CBAs is an issue that we need to legislate. Just yesterday, we were trying to ensure that a worker from one of the tea factories was compensated their dues properly. Members of the Committee on Labour and Social Welfare who are here can tell you that we found out that CBAs can even exist outside the Constitution. There was even a paragraph of a contractual agreement that can never be justified within our Constitution. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I believe that our duty as the Senate, number one, is to legislate around CBAs. Two, is to see how we can add our voice to ensure that the deadlock is open. I welcome the idea of bringing all hands on deck because we cannot be doing the same things. We have had the same stakeholders sitting in boardrooms and they are walking out on each other. Today, it is the healthcare sectors working out of the CoG, tomorrow it is who working out on who. They have even politicised this thing."
