Thank you very much, Madam Temporary Speaker. I am one of those who missed the prayer breakfast. I am very happy to hear that those who attended are changing. I hope they will really change because they really require that change. I specifically think that the people who attended, were required to attend; not those of us who did not attend.

This is a good report, considering that the tools of trade they ...

Having lived through this ordeal for the four months since she started her medication, it us tells that baby Annita Jepkorir was a brave young girl. She really wanted and even fought to live.

, so that we can understand the anguish that is with the people of Kenya. I wonder what we as leaders, politicians and us who have been given authority over the people of Kenya think when we read such things and see suck kind of issues; when we watched the video of that father who was holding a dead child and when we look at this Petition of baby Annita Jepkorir.

that doctor that a person died, the only thing we can do is reprimand or caution. If we are to take adverse step in punishing this doctor, then he should be asked to go back to school. It should not about taking account of what they have done already. The other thing that we can do which Sen. Cherarkey has talked about is to ask that doctor go back to school. So, what is the fate of the people who have suffered in the hands of this particular person? We must make it stringent. Think of the parents of Annita ...
