    "content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. This opportunity is highly appreciated. I stand to put in my word to this Motion as amended and as further amended. The essence of the investigation that was carried out can be demonstrated by the fact that at the height of the COVID-19 Pandemic, we were told that Kenya was borrowing Kshs4 billion every day. Out of the money that we borrowed, there are credible reports that tell us that Kshs43 billion was pocketed by people who have come to be known as the COVID-19 heist billionaires. In fact, what was expected of the Departmental Committee on Health was to go in there and lift the veil so that we are able to see the actual faces of these thieves who were able to take away Kshs43 billion out of money that we do not have, because we borrowed it. It has been said before that COVID-19 is not just a health challenge. The COVID-19 will test governments, economies and civilisations. Right here in this country, I can say that we have been tested and shaken. It begs for us to get our priorities right because if we do not face COVID- 19 in the way we are supposed to, it will annihilate this nation."
