    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The Senate Majority Leader should have disclosed that I am doing this on behalf of Sen. Orengo, so that it is not mistaken that I have grown too big for myself. There is no doubt that the President was right, that this country is bigger than its citizens and everybody else. This country has gone through many divisive elections and is facing a pandemic that has affected the way we are doing business. It was good to hear that the schools will reopen. However, it is of great concern, that as the second wave goes on, the question of our children going back to school should be thought about carefully. We know in Baringo and many other places, including the coast region, our children in school are facing COVID-19 and some of them have to be isolated. We hope that as we go along, the reopening of schools is going to be carefully thought out, so that our children do not face the same problems. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the President mentioned that the ongoing disputes in Ethiopia and Tanzania are things that should be ignored. I hope that our Committee on National Security, Defense and Foreign Relations will say something about it. It is a matter we should comment or recommend certain issues to be dealt with. If there is insecurity in Ethiopia, there is going to be insecurity in Kenya. I was happy to hear - which the Senate Majority Party Leader mentioned - the President say that he is the proverbial Moses. He has gone to the top of the mountain. For those like the Chair, the Senate Majority Leader and Members who profess to the Christian faith, it is significant that the President states that, like Moses on the way to Jordan, there will be somebody else."
