I almost forgot. Allow me a second to mention that the PSC should ensure that our staff are well catered for, so that they are able to assist us. This is because they are our aid. These staff are doing a good job in ensuring that we are well resourced in terms of research and provision of services. We are not saying that the PSC should only push for the agenda of MPs. They must include the staff as well. They should be well resourced, so that they support us to discharge the mandate that our people gave us.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, while I agree with the Minority side that within the purview of Standing Order No.23, there is a process in which they can change their leadership, it is within their purview as the Minority side. I do not agree with them when they do not want to follow the rule of law. Last week, whether you or the Deputy Speaker were there, the Office of the Speaker subsists.

I am not saying that on this issue of Minority leadership we should have a bipartisan approach because it is the decision of the Minority side and is within their purview. However, we ended up agreeing on the issue of the revenue formula, which was very contentious then. I know that most of the colleagues who had not joined us then were also following those ...

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. My comment is only one minute to seek further clarification. We need to know why the direction that doctors are not supposed to travel was given and the number of doctors in the country that are qualified yet are unemployed. Finally, you remember there was a collaboration between county governments and the famous Cuban doctors. What is the position?

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise, pursuant to Standing Order 53 (1), to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Finance and Budget regarding re-introduction of Bank charges on mobile wallets such as Mpesa, Airtel Money and T-Kash.
