    "content": "recommendations that we made which was to give a share of the housing units to the 184 former tenants of Buxton Estate. Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is also sad to note that the same people who had petitioned this House - and that is why we investigated this issue - have not benefited from the ruling or the recommendations of our committee. We will be looking into this issue again by inviting the Governor of Mombasa County. It is sad that this House is taken for a ride by not taking our resolutions seriously when they come to the county governments. I will join that statement with another statement that was requested by Sen. Okenyuri on the issue of Dr. Desree Moraa Obwogi. As the people of Kiambu, we have lost a doctor. It is said that she died of suicide at Gatundu Level 5 Hospital. I urge the Committee on Health to invite the Governor of Kiambu to come and explain the working conditions of doctors in these hospitals. First of all, we realised that doctors in Kiambu County do not get their salaries on time. Secondly, they were moved from the National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF) that covers their medical expenses to a private insurance company called Motor Underwriting Agency (MUA). It is almost a year since I brought that statement here, but the Committee on Health has not responded or invited the Governor of Kiambu to come and explain. The Governor should be here, so that the working conditions of doctors in Kiambu County are well taken care of. You cannot go to a doctor for treatment, yet he or she is sick or suffering from something else. They should be taken care of mentally, financially and even their working conditions. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I support those two statements."
