I want to thank hon. Mututho for being mindful about the welfare of nurses. As he says, I am very passionate about nurses for three reasons. One, as a woman, we ordinarily have the nurturing and caring role that is God given. As I speak as a human right activist, I know that my nurturing and caring roles are God given. Therefore, I am at heart a nurse. Secondly, my mother before she changed profession was a nurse. She practiced for a short while, before she changed the nursing role and moved to a different professional that could enable her take care of us, still as a nurse. Thirdly, I also uphold the nursing profession, because last year, I was privileged to be hospitalized for two weeks, when I underwent surgery. I want to say that this is a very noble profession. I have never been in hospital for that long. The care that I got from the nurses, and I am saying from my heart was actually amazing. The nurses were from Nairobi Hospital."}
