    "content": "We fail in making policies. Let us professionalize services. Let us not also duplicate. I do not know what happened. The other day, they were going to amalgamate several corporations to ensure that there is efficiency; a lean and efficient personnel and that people are able to show that they have managed to do what they are supposed to do. That is something that should be pursued and it should not be a political gift to anybody. Maybe what we fear is that people are realizing that if you make these things fewer, then you will have fewer people to claim rights. I would like to appeal to the political losers, they have a right as Kenyans, but do you have to burden this country with your failure? If you did not make it to Parliament, must you be given a State job? The fact that your people have rejected you means that Kenyans should not accept you. You failed because you were not able to deliver. If you did not deliver for your constituency, who says that you can deliver for the Kenyan people? The other issue is health. I think we made a terrible mistake by assigning the health docket to counties. For instance Narok County never paid KEMSA. Now they are getting medicine from some dubious backstreet pharmacist, which is not even safe. It is our duty to protect the people of Kenya collectively not from constituencies or counties. It is time we resolved the issue of health facilities or health services. The most important thing is to assure this House that as long as I am the Chairman of the Committee on Implementation; I am ready to act if each and every Member of this House, each Committee ensures that our goal is the same to serve Kenyans accordingly and within the constitutional boundaries that we and our forefathers set. Thank you for this opportunity."
