    "content": " Thank you so much, Hon. Deputy Speaker and the Senator for Nairobi City. Now, Hon. Senators, do not get irritated when Kenyans come petitioning this House. In fact, it goes to prove one thing, the trust and confidence they have in you as a leadership. Therefore, whenever these things happen, it is good to give these people a shoulder to lean on. Listen to them, and as a leadership, let us seek for solutions that will address their problems. Now, having listened to the Deputy Speaker and the Senator for Nairobi City, I direct the Secretariat through the Clerk, that a meeting be caused between the Committee on Health, CoG and the Cabinet Secretary for Health to discuss this matter. That meeting should be called as soon as possible. We know we are going on recess on Thursday. Let that be done within the first week of the recess, so that we get to the bottom of this and offer solutions. I would not want to be the Speaker who presided over public relations with such heavy matters. Those workers who have petitioned Parliament are leaving with a lot of hope that some solutions will be found by this House. Let us not let them down. Let that meeting happen and they will, of course, be attending. I believe if all the stakeholders are brought on the same table, we should be able to fashion a wonderful way forward."
