    "content": "Health, which to some extent is doing some good work. It is one thing to have good facilities but the problem is maintenance of those facilities. Maybe five years from today, whatever we are buying will not serve the purpose. The other thing that the Committee on Health needs to look into is the capacity of the personnel in the hospitals. Now that we have pumped a lot of money into the health sector, they need to be up to standards and give the best services. The Committee on Health is important. I know Sen. Outa, with his commitment and experience, will make a difference. Madam Temporary Speaker, my call to the Senate Majority Leader is that we have standing committees like the Committee on National Cohesion, Equal Opportunity and Regional Integration where you also sit. Unfortunately we lost one Member, the late Ben Oluoch, and the fate of Sen. Loitiptip is not known. One of our Members has never attended meetings and we always suffer lack of quorum. Therefore, the Committee needs a lot of attention. There is need to relook at the composition of different committees. There are Members who just come and sign. I think it is the responsibility of the Leadership to make sure that we do not misbehave at this age in life. When meetings are called, let us attend and concentrate on what we are supposed to do but not jumping from one committee to the other. I urge the Leadership that there is need to relook into the whole matter of committees. We need to know those who are active and people who attend meetings but they do not say anything. I think something can be done if guided by our Standing Orders. I thank you."
