    "content": "work in a conducive environment that will even encourage them to continue doing the good work that they do. Madam Temporary Speaker, in Machakos, I have seen cleaners cleaning blood, urine and all manner of dirt in hospitals. There is a contractor who has a contract with the county government to employ cleaners. The cleaners go for up to seven months without pay yet he is earning his pay every month. When the Standing Committee of Health considers this Statement, they should also look into the welfare of the cleaners who clean in county hospitals at all levels. They should know how they are employed and what they can do if they do not earn their salary. I understand that most of them do not even have any insurance that can be used to treat them when they fall sick. Even the majority of these doctors and nurses complain about hospital insurance. Madam Temporary Speaker, in most of the hospitals, patients cannot even get as little as blood tests from the hospitals. The Computed Tomography (CT) scan machines and X-rays are not working, so, patients are sent somewhere else for check-ups. You find that these doctors are unable to give services to the patients because these machines are not working. The Committee should also check on the environment where doctors and nurses live because it is key. I support this Statement by the Senator for Meru County. On the Statement by Sen. Asige, we have so many talented youths in this country. However, with the little monies that the counties get, they are unable to be supplied with all the equipment and techniques needed. They should be given all the materials needed and build the stadiums to the standards that are needed for them to work. I am shocked that the lady from Makueni was asked for a bribe to join sports. She is now winning gold medals for other people and not us here in Kenya. The Football Federation and sports should be checked. I thank God that hon. Murkomen has been taken there. I hope he will be keen this time round to do his work. I hope he does his work without partiality and considers all the counties across this nation with justice. Madam Temporary Speaker, if I were the President of this country, I would have given that docket to one of the Gen Zs who have been demonstrating on the streets to be right inside the Government. Also, I would give the docket of Gender to one of the ladies from the Gen Zs, so that they can be right inside the Government. They demonstrated then the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) just took over the game and brought in their people. The Gen Z were not awarded anything. We will continue to stand with you Gen Z, continue with the fight."
