    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, Kericho County is a neighbour to Nandi County. Therefore, we have felt first-hand the burden of the residents of Nandi County having to travel all the way to Kericho to seek medical attention. I was at home over the weekend and met a couple of people from Nandi County seeking treatment. Therefore, I know how difficult it is for the residents of Nandi County during this time that the strike is ongoing. We are all aware that issues of health cannot be postponed or taken casually. In my opinion, the Committee on Health has treated this matter casually. Allow me to call people who do not support the work of the Senate “enemies of the Senate” for advancing the theory that this House is not useful to the economy of this country. Therefore, I find it wrong when our Committees give such naysayers ammunition to attack us. I would expect that in such a situation, our Committee would swing into action and find a solution. That way, we would prove to people that the Senate has a place in this country and that we are the protectors and custodians of devolution and that we are ready to resolve issues whenever they arise. I, therefore, plead that the Committee on Health be directed to do its work diligently to avert the crisis that the people of Nandi County are facing."
