    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I would like to support the Statement by Sen. Cherarkey. It is actually sad that we can lose a doctor who treats patients for free. This is not the first time we are having such cases. The Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH) has been notorious on this and they give lame excuses when it comes to such issues. For instance, there were claims that this doctor was not fully employed by KNH. This is not a reason to just let him suffer the fate that he ended up with. If this can happen to a doctor, then I pity ordinary citizens who are lying in hospitals waiting for help to come nearby. I wish that we do not continue lamenting about such issues. Instead, we should take stern actions against such happenings in our hospitals on daily basis. I also would like to support the Statement by Sen. Orwoba on recruitment. The moment I saw huge numbers being flagged off to go out of the country, I knew there was a problem. That is why I was reluctant to rush into getting my young people into those programmes because I knew there was an elephant in the room. I was wise. So, Mr. Speaker, Sir, we are not going to take advantage of young people who are suffering from getting help in school. The moment you graduate, there are no jobs for you out here. The moment you think there are greener pastures out there, we have colonialists of our times who still want to terrorize you. So, I would like the Committee that is going to handle that issue to look at it deeply and lead a crackdown of some of these recruitment agencies which are exploiting desperate Kenyans. Thank you."
