    "content": " I thank you, Hon. Speaker. On behalf of the people of Kipipiri, the wider leadership of the House, my own family and all the friends who knew our late colleague, Hon. Justus Murunga, I wish to convey my heartfelt condolences. It was a shock receiving the news. From where I sit, I get to interact with many of the Members and we had interacted not so long ago in terms of the frameworks of knowing who is in what Committee and doing what. As the Hon. (Dr.) Otiende Amollo says, the passing away of our colleague in such a short time is a stark reminder of our vulnerability especially us, because of the nature of our work, we are exposed to all manner of potential contamination, based on where we go, where we are going for our committee meetings, where we are going to meet our colleagues and where we are going for our public rallies. We are vulnerable and especially in these difficult times when you do not know where the virus is. The Hon. Washiali is cautioning us not to speculate. It is not speculation. We need to be alive to the reality that we are living in very peculiar times and unless we take extra caution as MPs who are interacting with the public, and they will not understand why you do not want to be closer to them so they will be surging towards you… Unless we take extra care, we will not only be at risk ourselves but we will put each one of us at risk and hence our families as well. That is how this second wave is getting complicated. Hon. Speaker, today is the 17th. In the last 16 days of November, we have lost 299 people excluding the numbers that we announced today. In the entire October, we lost 295. So in only The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
