Honestly, the Assistant Minister does not seem to have been ready to tackle the issues in the petition, because the things he is telling us are not even answering a number of the queries raised in the petition, especially questions raised by more than three hon. Members about what each doctor has been offered. What he is telling us about the Kshs40,000 is what has been offered to the administrators and the Director of Medical Services, that is officers on Job Group S. That is why doctors are living in servant quarters, while these other people are living in the main house! Tell us how much you are giving each doctor."

So, if a doctor earns Kshs40,000, he will get at least Kshs30,000 more. If you have not done mathematics, hon. Member, that makes the total sum Kshs70,000."

This Government tells us that, under Vision 2030, it intends to realise maximum possible quality of life for Kenyans. From its formula of a working nation, the Government is certainly telling us that provision of health services can be possible without taking adequate care of the doctors, who are now threatening to resign from their positions because of poor terms of service. Instead of the Government coming up with improved terms of service for the doctors, it just keeps on stubbornly and in high-handed manner, telling the doctors that they do not have money. Is the Government telling Kenyans that this is how the country is going to realise Vision 2030?"

Our doctors have actually watched helplessly as patients die, whereas the diseases killing them are actually treatable. Are we turning our doctors into undertakers, who handle bodies, instead of facilitating them to be able to save lives?"
