    "content": "not pay attachee even a single coin. It is still an expenditure to you, but Parliament remunerate the students and it is a plus. The same should be emulated to the other interns like the lab technicians and other students that are within these industries. I am seeing my time is up. I seem to have a lot, but I will just try to sum it up. It is high time we adapt. I urge the mediation committee that has been put in place to defend the Kshs415 billion revenue allocation for counties. We have seen that the National Government Constituency Development Fund (NG-CDF) in National Assembly has been increased. Most of these monies that we are asking for the Governors, the bigger chunk of the additional fund we gave is mostly going to the health sector, putting in mind that health is devolved. It is very sad to be entering into the precincts of Parliament and meet our young medics who play a very key role. There is no way you will go to a hospital and see the doctor directly. There is a channel you follow. You have to do the lab tests and do different consultations before you get to the final part. So, everyone within that industry plays a key role. Most of these funds are to take care of our people at the lower level, for example, the role that the CHP plays. These monies that we allocated as a Committee should be taken seriously. During the COVID-19 pandemic time, it was a worldwide effect, we changed and adapted a technology of Zoom very fast. This is an indication that we do not have to wait when things are critical for us to act. It is high time we embrace and move away from the old formula of having to physically go see the doctor so that you can get your medication and use technology. Mr. Temporary Speaker, I heard Sen. Cherarkey talk about women that they have the highest percentage when it comes to taking care of their health. It is very true. Men have lagged behind when it comes to the issues of health because the rate of ignorance even for a small headache is very high. The higher rate of death today is more in men than in women. Women are so talented because we are multitaskers. We are able to do so many things. You could be having a headache and still running around the house taking care of the children. However, we still do not forget to take care of ourselves. That is what brings much difference. We have said that women like shouting and talking too much; it is what we run around with unlike men who are just focused on one item. When it comes to their health, their rate of ignorance has been very high. We urge men to prioritize because we need you in this country for the roles that you play and continue playing. This technology will also help our children. Cancer had been known to affect the elderly, but nowadays even children of less than one year are getting it. The earlier we embark on these new technologies then the better it is for us to have a healthy and wealthy nation. I thank you and do second."
