    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to support the Motion on alteration of the Senate Calendar for the Fifth Session. I totally agree with my colleagues that we need to take seriously this particular pandemic. This disease has killed our colleagues, our family members and close friends. We need to change our lifestyle, the way we do things, and the way we associate with others. It has affected us. We just need to adhere to what is being said. Globally, we have lost around 2.7 million people. That is not a small population. As we continue adhering to the measures that have been in place to protect us, I urge the Members of this Parliament to observe the rules like minimize on the interaction. This is because we do not know who will be next to be affected or die. Let us continue maintaining high levels of hygiene, keeping social distance and following the health guidelines that can suppress this pandemic. It is important for us to lead by example as leaders and not do the contrary. We have talked much about COVID-19. This is the third wave. We do not know how many waves will be there. The pandemic is very new in Kenya and globally. We come here and meet, but when we go back to our families and communities. Let us continue embracing hygienic protection measures that we have learnt and being directed by our health workers. This pandemic has really messed our lives. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, I support the Motion."
