    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker for giving me this opportunity to support the Statement made by Sen. Khaniri. This Statement has really come at an opportune time when cases of the COVID-19 are escalating. When we flash back, we see that from the time of the partial reopening, the cases have really escalated. Since there is a lot of talk concerning COVID-19; that it is here to stay, then we have to know which direction we will take as a country in order to ensure that we flatten the curve. A lot has to be done as Sen. Khaniri mentioned, especially in the counties. It is painful to realize that most of the people in mashinani are not wearing masks and are not even keen about covering their nose, their mouths and all that. They are taking it so normally. There are preparatory measures that need to be taken in order for this awareness to be effective. We have to ensure that we bring on board key decision makers, like teachers, who are very effective in disseminating information in mashinani. We also have chiefs and religious leaders. They need to be brought on board so that this awareness can be effective. It really painful that people are taking for granted this issue of COVID-19, and yet it is a reality. Many people are losing their lives, even people who have really contributed to the economy, socially and politically. Their lives are being taken away. Just recently, we heard that Papa Shirandula succumbed to the disease. I pass my condolences to the fraternity of us in this country for losing such a person. Madam Temporary Speaker, we must take this pandemic seriously. Senators also need to be brought on board when it comes to raising awareness on issues of this pandemic. When we go to the counties, we find that we have no role to play---"
