    "content": "I know in every profession, there are crooks within the profession, including my own profession of law, engineers, medical practitioners or even structural engineers. However, we must punish, so that we do not lose lives. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as I have been saying, when you are handling human life, it is so sensitive because when you lose somebody, you never recover them. Other things can be recovered. For instance, when a building collapses, you can rebuild and when a road stalls, you can rebuild. As we pray for this nation in the national prayer breakfast, we must confront serious challenges that are facing us, including medical negligence, corruption, bad governance and poor development. That is why the Governor of Trans Nzoia County was charged the other day. One of the court orders say you cannot access the office. Today, he was in office. So, there is impunity in this country. He was in the huduma mashinani office, yet the courts ruled in the court order that he should not step in the Office of the Governor until the corruption allegation of Kshs1.2 billion is cleared or upheld. This is a country of impunity. I would like to thank the President because he was gracious today. I would have expected the Senate Majority Whip would do that, but let me do the honors. I thank the President for asking for forgiveness from our neighbours, Tanzania and Uganda, and also from Gen-Zs. It takes a real leader to seek for forgiveness. Now that the President has requested and prayed that we forgive each other, as a nation, we should forgive each other and move forward, so that we can have one nation. I would like to appeal to Tanzania's Members of Parliament that, even if English is not their priority, they should not insult us in Kiswahili. We are also telling them, let us have one united East African Community (EAC), which we are proud of. That is my appeal as we go into the future. With this Motion, let us ensure that we finish issues of medical negligence in this country. I support this Motion. Thank you."
