Sen. (Dr.) Kuti Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the issue of the contract was bound to come. However, I will respect your ruling but I want to know, if the Chairperson has this contract agreement, we will still insist that we want it tabled.

Sen. (Dr.) Kuti Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, that is not the best way to go. We called the Cabinet Secretary here last time on a very important matter of mismanagement, the issue of doctors’ strike and the public outcry. You were present here and about seven other Members.

What steps have been taken to strengthen the investigative arm and the inspectorate arm of the Kenya Medical Practitioners and Dentists Board? Secondly---
