    "content": "Hon. Speaker, let me take this opportunity to thank the Members of this House who stood with the Committee Report and supported it. I want to note that committee reports are very important and if we try to water them down for whatever reasons, we will be bringing down the dignity of this House. Hon. Members, I would like to urge that as we make amendments and other adjustments to Committee Reports, we should consider the time the Committee took in conducting its investigations. If any Member had an issue that he or she wanted to contribute on… We held public hearings and this matter was actually at the glare of the media. Members should have come to submit their issues before the Committee, instead of us seeming like we are pulling and pushing. I know we may want to impress the people who voted us in by showing that we are fighting for them. I want to reiterate again, the health status of this nation and of the citizens of Kenya will not be achieved by politicizing health. I also want to urge this House to support the Government with regard to the Big Four agenda and especially the issue of universal healthcare. I know the Parliamentary Service Commission normally procures a private insurance cover for us. To show commitment in The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
