Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I am a lady of few words. I congratulate our sister. We are proud of her. Kindly, my sister, you have escalated and are up there. Kindly, remember the women down here and empower them. I know for all the good reasons, you have been nominated for your hard work. We wish you the best. We will be waiting for you. As I had requested Sen. Murkomen, I also request for an appointment with you so that we can discuss issues out of the Senate. All the best.

Parking fee is a thorny issue. The debate on parking charges by private hospitals was revived in 2019 by the nominated Member of County Assembly (MCA) hon. Anne Tumbi. She urged that charging patients and visitors at the hospitals amounted to increasing the cost of medical care.

Seriously, I echo Sen. Sifuna’s Motion. It is painful that the sick even during emergencies have to pay parking fees. When you take children to the mall or whichever place, you pay parking fees. As you said, the Uber drivers currently are so hurting when they are taking you to the airports. They keep on cancelling because the standard parking fee has to be paid. This is unfair.

If this House adopts the resolution, banks and all other facilities that provide public services will also be compelled to drop this parking fee.
