.: Mr. Speaker, Sir, Sen. Wetangula is right. The Auditor-General informed us that we are at 90 per cent of the threshold of the ceiling. She further informed us that they were conducting an immediate audit and would give us a report. Therefore, what Sen. Wetangula is requesting is key. Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is because what will come shortly after your Communication is the possibility that the national Government will request us to increase the ceiling. If you recall, we had a very cantankerous debate in the last Session. I agree with Sen. Wetangula that it would have been ...

.: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the issues raised by the Senate Minority Leader are critical. The grapevine is not very kind to us, the leadership of this House, and they are not going to be kind if we do not listen to them. I am specifically speaking to my colleague on the majority side, Sen. Wamatangi. Let us have consensus because without consensus, we are going to be reported in the Press continuously. On the second issue, we have whispered to some of the Committee Members, and I think it is wise to bring to your attention that on the Equalization ...

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I want to make a comment as I support. The list became long after Sen. Wetangula made his contribution. I do not know the effect he had on it. Sen. Orengo and I had a very difficult task some time back defending doctors who were being jailed for demanding small menial things.

Maximum prison after being jailed for demanding minimal allowance of Kshs20,000, uniforms et cetera . If any of us doubted the importance of treating medics well, COVIDE-19 pandemic has shown how important doctors are and how important we should treat them. This is because they have been in the centre of fighting the pandemic and treating many people even our friends. As we say so, we have lost a good lawyer friend who was being treated for various diseases and passed on at Karen Hospital. At the time the Building Bridges Initiatives (BBI) was being proposed, doctors were insisting that ...

I have not seen that. So, even if you appoint the chairman of the Makueni CPSB in this. How does his nomination bind the board in Makueni or in another place? You need to tie it because it will cause some problems. That means that we need another amendment to the County Governments Act where the CPSB is housed. In terms of these recommendations, Sen. (Dr.) Ali knows that the most mistreated profession today is that of doctors. The most underpaid people in Kenya today are doctors. Sen. Kavindu Muthama told us during the funeral of her brother that she ...

We must treat the doctors of this country better. I went to a hospital in Kilungu in Makueni County and they spoke about the number of surgeries they have to do while operating in one theatre. One feels very bad about the conditions under which we have subjected our doctors and specialists. These are without equipment and Personal Protective Equipment’s (PPEs) during the COVID-19 pandemic.
