    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to support this Petition. It is unfortunate that clinical workers who are rendering what we would call critical service must resort to the Senate to seek our assistance for them to get a Collective Bargaining Agreement signed. Labour relations under Article 41 of the Constitution is a fundamental right for all workers; fair work, fair remuneration and fair pay for work done. They are not asking for this country or somebody in the Ministry to lend them a limb. They are just saying “pay us!” Fortunately, this Senate has one person who is from that profession. Somebody asked yesterday, and I read somewhere, why we are broke. People would not go on strike unless they did not have money. These people work for 16 hours a day. I represented doctors; the young people, some of whom were jailed because they wanted an increase of something close to Kshs20,000. Why would we not conclude a Collective Bargaining Agreement? It is worse when we read in a Petition that our county governments, through the CoG, is one of the parties that is being belligerent towards this service."
