    "content": "reduced Kenyans’ frustrations in accessing these services. Many Kenyans apply for these services online, for instance passports. Kenya is doing better than her neighbours. We thank God for that. Madam Temporary Speaker, as a country, our wage bill is unsustainable. Parliament takes only 2 or 3 per cent. It is time we realign ourselves from the top so that we can calm the industrial strikes. They are a result of how we handle ourselves. We need to look at the plight of teachers, nurses, clinical officers and doctors. We have many civil servants. We need to create an environment where the private sector employs many people so that the Government can manage its debt and get rid of unsustainable strikes now and then. Madam Temporary Speaker, as I finalise, I thank the President. We hope and believe that as we move on, key people who need to be taken care of in their professions; policemen, prison warders and KDF are catered for. They have protected our lives. We need to look after their welfare. Apart from the health cover, we also need to think about their housing so that they are not compromised. Finally, I want to thank the women of this country because in the last 50 years of Independence, we have achieved a lot. It is my sincere hope that this year we will conduct a peaceful election. We also hope that the Elections Offences Act will be implemented to the letter by all actors so that we have a peaceful and credible election. I trust the Director of Public Prosecution (DPP) will do his work so that we all ensure that our fragile democracy does not slide into the 2007 situation when many people died and others were displaced because of politics. As much we are in campaign mood, I urge all of us to respect each other because our country will not cease to function after elections. This is because Kenyans and foreign investors will continue investing in various sectors in our country. We must remind ourselves that this country is ours even as we approach the polls. With those few remarks, I beg to move and ask Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo to second."
