    "content": "They gave us a good oversight report on the management of the virus at the county and national levels. The reason I support the extension is because COVID-19 is with us. We still need them to focus, rather than having these issues taken to a Standing Committee on Health, for example, where many other matters are handled. It is better that we maintain this Committee that is chaired by Sen. Kasanga who has done a great job. We should give this Committee time to continue focusing on the issues because COVID-19 is still here with us. In fact, it is now being declared an endemic and not just a pandemic. This means that we are going to learn to live with it. Most importantly, we need to know what happens after COVID-19. How is our life when it becomes an endemic? The post COVID-19 life, for example, opening of schools and churches for over 200 people, how are we resuming our lives? How is the Government coming in to cushion the small and medium enterprises that have been hard hit by COVID-19? How are we going to make sure that Kenyans are back on their feet and we resume our lives? This Committee still has some work to do. We should give them more than 30 days when they call for it. Thank you."
