    "content": "I am happy with our Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs because the people that we have invited have been magnanimous and gracious enough to attend our meetings. However, it was very sad that the Cabinet Secretary in charge of Agriculture and the Cabinet Secretary in charge of Industrialization could just send some junior officers within the Ministries. I hope that we will ventilate on these issues through the Liaison Committee. I hope that the Senate Majority Leader, who is my former lecturer and very ruthless in executing his mandate, will convey these issues to the Executive, so that we do not have to discuss them on the Floor of the House. Madam Temporary Speaker, health is a devolved function. I do not know whether we need a conference or capacity building for people to understand that health is among the 34 functions that have been provided for by the Fifth Schedule of the Constitution. I call upon the national Government to engage the Senate more often than the National Assembly, to ensure the realization of the Big Four Agenda of the President. The biggest legacy that President Uhuru Kenyatta and the springboard of His Excellency William Ruto for 2022 Presidency is the success of the Big Four Agenda. The critical partner in ensuring the realization of the Big Four Agenda on universal healthcare is not the National Assembly, but the Senate. I hope that the Committee on Health, chaired by the able Sen. (Dr.) Mbito and the Vice Chairperson, Sen. (Dr.) Ali, will lead us to the Canaan, in full realization of the Big Four Agenda. They should ensure that now that we have the “handshake,” we can succeed in ensuring-- - Madam Temporary Speaker, please, add me one or two minutes."
