    "content": "Hon. Mule is a man who has carried the flag in the fight against Tuberculosis (TB) for the last four years. I always say that in your term as a Member of Parliament, you must leave something. Hon. Jude Njomo has now left a legacy. He will be known as the man who took over from where Joe Donde left on the matter of interest rates. I hope the President will sign that Bill. It was between banks, 50 or 60 and the 40 million Kenyans. I am sure the President will go down in history as a man who did what his father, the former President Moi, Kibaki and the former Prime Minister, Hon. Raila, combined could not do. Hon. Raila is telling the President to sign the Bill. When he had an opportunity as a Co-Principal, that Bill was here and he is the one who said it should not be signed. This is the kind of hypocrisy we do not want. The President now has an opportunity to sign it and Hon. Raila should not tell the President to sign the Bill. He has no moral ground because he had opportunity and he did not do anything. He should join the likes of the former Presidents Moi and Kibaki who never touched the issue of interest rates. I am sure this Bill will help the Jubilee administration in making sure that Kenyans access the equipment that we have invested in, in the health sector. Hon. Deputy Speaker, this country must do one thing, which is that every Kenyan must access free medical service. The manifesto of the Jubilee administration has one thing that before it completes its 20 year administration, Insha Allah, because 2015 has already been completed and we are not seeing any serious contender, we are only talking of 2022, 2027 and 2032, President Kenyatta and his deputy must leave one legacy of universal healthcare. It should be that if a Kenyan on the street falls sick, he or she can walk to the nearest dispensary, get treated and walk free without paying. That is the essence of social security for the people of Kenya. With those many remarks, I beg to support."
