    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as I rise to support the statement by Sen. Cherarkey, I keep on asking myself for how long medics will be on the streets in this country for their issues to be addressed. As we are seated here, those medics on the streets would have been in hospitals attending to Kenyans. I know there are patients lining up waiting for their services. The Statement must be interrogated and necessary actions be taken. Secondly, I support the Statement by Sen. (Dr.) Murango on the challenges facing teachers’ medical cover in the country. Every other day, we are debating on issues of teachers. If it is not their medical cover, it is about discrimination in their hardship allowance or some hardships that teachers go through in this country. Not only teachers, but also even the police officers have had challenges with their medical cover. These are key public servants that provide noble services to the people of Kenya. Let the issues of teachers including their medical cover be sorted. I have often come in handy to help certain teachers - I know all of us have done the same - when teachers are in hospital because they have difficulties accessing their medical covers. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, let us treat teachers in this country with the dignity they deserve because it is from the knowledge that they give that a number of us are even in the House of Parliament."
