    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I stand guided, but the truth is painful. We want to be very clear. It is high time we talked of integrity in this House and remain honourable Members. As Members of Parliament, we should use all the ways and means to table a Motion to establish what happened to mislead the Speaker. When looking at the universal healthcare in this country and spending Government money, this Committee said that we will be above board in everything that we do. We want to provide services to Kenyans which are above board. Health is a devolved function under the county governments, which are overseen by the Senate. As a Committee, we will not allow Kenyans to be given substandard treatment in clinics in Kenya. When we considered the entire scenario and reports, there was nothing like business rivalry. Looking at the chronological events of the case that we are dealing with, we summoned the CEO of the Board and the particular doctors who supervised Dr. Soni and we established without fear or malice that there was a problem. I urge the Members of this House to stand boldly with the Committee, so that the Committee on Implementation can take over this Report and make sure it is implemented as recommended by the Committee. The Committee on Implementation should put the board to task to make sure that the recommendations are implemented to ensure that Kenyans are protected. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, you and I have been elected twice by our constituencies because they trust that we can protect them. That is why we are here. We want to stand firm and tell those who may think that they will bring business rivalry to this House that they will never see the light of day. Today, it will be me and tomorrow, it will be you. We cannot politicise issues of health or look at them from a business angle. We must look at them in a professional way because tomorrow you and I might be the patients. I support the Report and urge the Members to support it."
