    "content": "this country has let the health workers down. Simply because of selfishness, we did not care and corruption has become a top priority in this country. What happened at KEMSA ought not to have happened in a sane sober mind. Those who defrauded KEMSA and took money from there are Christians, Muslims or adhere to various faiths. This, indeed, is a wake-up call if a Christian can steal from the dead or the sick. If anybody who purports to believe in God can steal from the sick, that, indeed, is a shame and indictment of how we perceive morality in this country. It is again a shame that of all the counties, Busia County being the border county having realised most of the truck drivers were carriers of COVID-19 has not prepared and facilitated health workers to deliver on this war. It is a shame and indictment that, indeed, we have no medical cover for our health workers in the counties, yet we have one of the highest numbers of COVID- 19 cases. We need to re-examine our morality if we are a country that really needs to have a sober debate amongst itself. However greedy you are or how much money you need, it was saddening to steal the KEMSA money. Again, the institutions we have in this country focusing on KEMSA, honestly speaking, need to be re-examined. I would not like to go into details, but it is a call to Kenyans that we need to re-examine our moral values and look at how we deal with our issues. Hon. Speaker, with those few remarks, I support the Report."
