    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I would have expected you to be among the top contributors because you have a history of running the defunct moribund, our former beloved party, Jubilee, and also you are the midwife of the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) Party as the Secretary-General (SG). I hope you will get time to contribute. I am happy the deputy party leader of the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM), my brother and neighbour, Sen.Godfrey Osotsi, a former Secretary General of one of the coalitions of the Kenya-Kwanza Government, the Amani National Congress (ANC). I hope we will learn from you because you will be debating on something that you have already gone through and you know the challenges that political parties face. We need strong political parties, we need a strong government, and we need the rule of democracy. The beauty of democracy as my Law lecturer, Sen. (Prof.) Tom Ojienda, my neighbour has indicated that we need a political horticulture, but hicho ni Kiingerezakikubwa kabisa . I have seen people growing excited. I was told there is a party called INJECT that had been registered by some young people, and people continue. That is the freedom we want. We want that independence so that as we grow, we grow with the political parties that we have. I am making this with the cognizant fact that Nandi County, at the moment, we are facing a labour crisis. As we talk, in our hospitals and health centres, there is industrial action or a strike by health workers in Nandi, and it is a sad situation. I want to appeal to your office that the Senate Standing Committee on Health, led by Sen. Jackson Mandago, intervene because we are having a serious crisis in terms of healthcare provision. I have said before that the issue of Health is a big concern. So, I thought I should mention it because; even people from Nandi County are following the discourse of political parties.
