    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity. It is sad to be here every Wednesday morning and not see any Cabinet Secretary coming to answer the questions. It is important for them to know that we have cancelled all other businesses for this House on Wednesday Morning to give the questions first priority because we needed to ask questions on the issues they should be doing. We have even cancelled Committee meetings. I am here this morning because of the 1998 bomb blast. The people are suffering without any care from our Government. I was ready to face the Cabinet Secretary this morning to explain why these people cannot get medication. We have a lot of problems in our counties, especially Machakos County because SHA is not in operation when people go to hospital, yet they have paid their premiums. They cannot be discharging from hospitals and call us to foot their bills, and we keep on making phone calls to NHIF to know what is happening. This is wrong. The Cabinet Secretary for Health must appear before the Senate to answer the questions. Even if she is unwell, she has an assistant or the Principal Secretary at the Ministry who should appear. It is not right for us to waste our time coming here every Wednesday and find there is no work we are coming here to do. Thank you."
