    "content": "Madam Deputy Speaker, thank you, my distinguished nephew, the Senator for Nairobi City County. I would like to inform Sen. Sakaja that as he deals with that matter, he should remember that the Cabinet Secretary for Tourism and Wildlife has been announcing to anybody who cares to listen that he has a tranche of Ksh4 billion to cushion the hotel and tourism sectors from the shocks of COVID 19. What else can the Government do than to help the impoverished and suffering staff members of hotels, restaurants and tourism establishments? We do not want to see the Kshs4 billion being used by officials in the Ministry to parade themselves wearing cowboy hats in game parks and on beaches. I would like to see real Kenyans who turn the wheel of the economy of this country; the young mother and boys or single parents who work, toil and moil to make money for the country being supported by the Government. It is the duty of the Government in a pandemic situation to cushion everybody more particularly in the testing aspect. I went to the Kenya Medical Research Institute (KEMRI) two weeks ago for COVID 19 testing and I was tested for free. Why would they want to charge the people who cannot afford even a shilling?"
