    "content": "they are considered like doctors who are paid internship allowance while undergoing training in hospitals. When it comes to clinical officers who do the donkey work, they are not given even a token of appreciation for their assistance in health facilities in our country while undergoing training. We appreciate what they do and I congratulate my friend, Hon. Sang, for the role he has played in bringing back sanity to our health facilities. Before I conclude, it is very absurd to see what is happening in this country for more than 70 days our doctors being on strike. I think every Member of Parliament (MP) is suffering like me. Every day, I am called to a Harambee to give some money to my people to seek treatment in private hospitals. I think it was wrong for us to have rushed to devolve health services. It is high time we asked for a referendum to take it back to where it deserves in the national Government. Over the weekend, I heard people claiming that they want a referendum to create a position of prime minister. If we want to create a position of leadership, it is high time we started looking for a way to return the health sector back to the national Government. We cannot go on like this. It is a clear indicator that the Council of Governors (CoG) is not ready. It is only a conduit of corruption. They are not ready to give us the health services we deserve. It is my request that once we come back in the next Parliament - and I believe I will be one of those who will come back - we should have a referendum to make sure that the health sector goes back to the national Government. I support."
