    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to support the Motion. We are very happy with it and we give credit to the Chairperson and the whole Committee for the work they have done. However, we want them to go further to make sure that whatever we pass in this House - and the Head of State signs it into law - is implemented. When we go around the counties, we see that so many things are not happening. The Government said that it will send money to schools and children are not supposed to be sent home. But you will still get some students are sent home because they do not have school fees. We are also getting a lot of problems in the healthcare sector. When we watch television, we see helpless people dying in hospitals and yet, we have approved money in this House for the county governments to pay the workers, so that our people do not die. It is very sad when you watch television and see people who cannot wake up from beds because they have not had meals. They even need somebody they can send to go and buy them food, but there is nobody to help them. They die in hospitals. In this House, we make laws and approve the Budget. So, we want to know the people who are not doing their work. We want the Committee to bring their names to this House. If they are not going to work for this country, they can as well quit. We cannot sit here and watch our people suffering. I am happy with the Chairperson of this Committee because she has done very well. You can see that when women are the heads, they do a better job. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker."
