"content": "That is why I have to speak because they may take it for granted that we are sending people there. We are sending serious people of high calibre and standard. Since the inception of the broad-based Government and we started sending experts there, its face has changed. People now take it more seriously than any other time. I know the Leader of the Majority Party agrees with me because he is part of the mechanics who are bringing this broad-based Government together. He is playing a big role. He knows, and he normally checks when we bring in serious people. He tells me, Hon. Junet, I am bringing the right people to the Government. Look at what is happening to this Government after the broad-based agreement. It is looking up. The Ministries of Health, Education, Energy and Petroleum, and the National Treasury and Economic Planning are being reformed. The economy is looking up. Inflation and interest rates have gone down. There is now a lot of confidence in the economy because of hiring an expert, like John Mbadi Ng’ongo, the former Chairman of our party. We have come together in this broad-based Government to help our country and make sure that it succeeds. That is why we want to have people like Dr Ouma Oluga in the Ministry of Health. This Parliament has changed all the laws pertaining to health and brought about digital healthcare. You, therefore, now need serious people like Ouma Oluga to handle SHIF and Social Health Authority (SHA). As a Kenyan, I am a very proud man today. I never thought one day Ouma Oluga would get a chance to exercise the kind of knowledge he has. I used to admire him when he was the Secretary General of KMPDU. This is a young man who is self-made and grew up in this country and participated in every aspect of healthcare in this country, such as at Nairobi Metropolitan Services (NMS), where he built hospitals in v ijiji when he was the Chief Officer, Health. I urge Members to take ODM more seriously. We have more experts and if you want more, please write to me as the Leader of the Minority Party, and I will take it to Baba Raila Amolo Odinga. We have more experts in law, healthcare, engineering, water and all manner of things. We are a think-tank full of experts. I must get rights to brag because experts are coming from ODM."
