    "content": "I also commend the secretariat or support staff that have been working with them. They are doing a good job. At this particular time as Kenyans, we need to know how we can ensure that the economy is flowing. Madam Temporary Speaker, when it comes to the economy, it has been wrecked by the Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic. There are so many people who are not employed. Sometimes even couples in a family are not employed. They have children who have to eat. They have rent, water and other bills to pay. I agree and support the Committee’s recommendation that when it comes to basic necessities, the price should just remain as it is. There are so many families that are trying to hustle to survive. Madam Temporary Speaker, during this COVID-19 time, many sectors have been affected. A major sector that has been affected is education. Education cannot wait. We have to see as a country how we are going to support this sector. How are we going to ensure that education continues? This is because there are so many teenage pregnancies and wrong things happening to children because they are not in the confines of teachers. Education is important and it helps people in many ways. It helps us even think about the future. There is need to see how exactly education can be revived. Also, when it comes to the protocols that pertain to opening organizations, churches, tourism industry and all that, they must be adhered to completely. There is need to oversight and see whether the protocols that have been put in place to ensure that people are not getting COVID-19 are being followed to the latter. If they are not followed, then as a country, we are just in big problem."
