    "content": "The Government established the National Emergency Committee on 27th of February 2020 which was mandated to ensure that concerted efforts and response are put in place towards this pandemic. At this point, as we condemn what is happening and say what the Committee should have done, I would like to look at, first of all, the work of the response committee because they have been coordinating these efforts and the work and efforts of our frontline workers. I know they have suffered fatalities as they save lives. Basically, they risk their lives to save lives. But because they are coordinated and efforts have been put in place, we are only talking of 1,427 people who have died as of today. I know one person dead is bad enough, but if we did not have these efforts in place, all these limitations on socialisation, the numbers would have been worse. We are talking about 80,102 people who have been infected. If we look at how many people have passed on compared to the number of infected people, it gives a fatality rate of about 1.7 per cent. We are way below the global average which is 2.3 per cent. That tells us that Kenya is doing something good to avoid fatalities. There are countries that are way above the global average, yet they are in the developed world. We are doing something and we must commend our health workers. Even with the limitations they have, at least, they are able to do something."
