Deputy Speaker, I will also attempt to respond to the hon. Member for Nakuru and that is hon. Gikaria who asked whether our own health workers are properly protected. I would like to link it to the question which has been sought by the hon. Member. Yes, it is very important that we safeguard the people who are doing the screening. I would like to assure the House that our people are properly trained and they have the right protective gear that is required. So, we have total protection of all individuals who might be exposed and not only the health workers.

Sang has raised a matter which is outside what is being discussed here today. I appreciate that he has raised a question on the issue of the health workers who might be on strike in some counties, and on a go-slow in other areas. This is a serious matter of concern. As a Committee, we are concerned that the health function is not being held properly at the county level. We have brought a report to this House, which was adopted. It is important for us to ask whether our people in the counties are really being taken care of properly as far as health is concerned. Hon. Deputy Speaker, some of the matters raised here are not matters that I can respond to---"
