    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. You spoke in Kiswahili and I got into the mood for Kiswahili, then, I realized that I cannot sustain the conversation beyond two sentences. Allow me to continue in English. I join my colleagues in supporting the extension of the time for the Ad hoc Committee on COVID-19 Situation in Kenya. When we had our first case of COVID-19, we did not know how to behave, as presented by Sen. (Eng.) Hargura. There were arguments of whether or not we should sit, as a Parliament, in the midst of this. We argued that since the Executive arm was not closing down, why should the Legislative arm close? Since Kenyans were going to suffer and would face deaths, we decided that we needed to respond to the needs of Kenyans. Therefore, the idea of the Ad hoc Committee on COVID-19 Situation in Kenya was agreed upon. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I want to agree that they have done a tremendous job; having 92 meetings, coming up with several reports because they have had a report for us every week, in which they elucidated and divided the issues into various themes. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
