    "content": "open schools. Why? Because we do not have desks, masks, and things like those. I would like to advise my friend, Hon. Amos Kimunya, to advise the Government, Cabinet Secretaries and the people who are entrusted with the responsibility of making decisions to move ahead and make decisions without being hazy like we are seeing from the Cabinet Secretary for Education. My daughter calls me and says: \"Dad, when are schools opening?\" I cannot tell her yet I am in this Parliament. The Cabinet Secretary keeps oscillating. It is this oscillation that will lead us to Supplementary Budget IV in the next financial year. That is what is likely to happen, but I think we, as Kenyans, are resilient. We are people with the oomph and the ability to go ahead of this pandemic and overcome it as soon as possible, so that we can bring this country to normalcy. I heard that we need to look at the rail system. That we need to put more money in the rail, but when it comes here, it takes a whole year before people can develop protocol. How long does it take to develop a protocol? Or is it the money for tea and snacks that they are looking for? So, we need to hasten the procedures on how to handle the COVID-19, so that we can avoid this next year because COVID-19 seems to be here with us. It might be here in 2022 or 2023. How we handle it is more important. Other countries have done it and we can do it as Kenyans. I thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker."
