    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for granting me this chance to add my voice to this Motion. I appreciate Sen. (Dr.) Zani for moving this Motion. As a Member of the Committee on Health, I note that the health sector is devolved. However, the Ministry of Health has failed the country. I also join Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale in calling that the Cabinet Secretary and the Principal Secretary should resign because Kenyans are dying. They should step aside to allow a dialogue that will bring this matter to an end. The Jubilee Government has failed to give health services to its people. As earlier stated by other Senators, how can you register a sick nation when calling upon Kenyans to register as voters? Many Kenyans are suffering on empty stomachs. This is a striking nation. There is no reason for the Jubilee Government to be in office when it is not able to resolve matters of such concern. We are urging Kenyans to register as voters yet we have forgotten about their health. How can somebody register as a voter when a relative or a family member is sick and there is no hope when that person will get health services? Education, health and security are very important. Without education, for example, we will not have qualified doctors. Without doctors, we cannot have healthy Kenyans. When we do not have healthy Kenyans, security matters are compromised. Everyone must be healthy to support the economy of the country. It is high time that the President used his office to release the doctors so that they resume work and allow Kenyans to get their constitutional right to good health services. It is a shame because the world is watching what is happening--- The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.
