    "content": "What do I mean? Even if you look at the way our counties operate, we still build big markets and facilities, when the SMEs that contribute 40 per cent of the GDP look for very small structures because this is where they are. Therefore, the Coronavirus has forced us, as a country, to re-think, re-focus and re-energise. We, as a country, are being forced to re-engineer our thoughts. We are focusing on issues that we should have focused on from the beginning. We are focusing on health, education and putting food on the table of the ordinary Kenyan. I am sad because Hon. T. J. Kajwang’ has left. He talked to the Bill that is coming up on the social economic rights which is setting up a framework. He said that it will provide lofty standards. Indeed, it provides lofty standards. We find the framework Bills that give effect to those rights. However, we must also provide Bills or laws that will provide how we monitor our socio-economic rights. As a country, Kenya has been doing fairly well. If you look at what we have been doing over the years, we have been doing fairly well. However, we have been experimenting in Uwezo Fund and Youth Enterprise Development Fund. We can see where the weaknesses are."
