"content": "I am saying this from the bottom of my heart. He sits next to me. So, I do not want people to think that I passed this virus to this young man who has many days to go and be in this House for as long as I have been for those many years. Madam Deputy Speaker, Sen. (Dr.) Ochillo-Ayacko and Sen. Olekina have shown me the amendment that they will make to this Motion. I agree with that. Otherwise, I plead with you that if we are required to meet once or twice every week, we should take a test every week. That is completely feasible so that we are all safe. We are our brothers’ and sisters’ keeper. We are all responsible for the safety and wellbeing of each other. Finally, I was happy when the Speaker said that when they went to State House, they were requested and urged; they were not ordered. To that extent, that is why we have this Motion. Nobody is ordering us to stay or go away. The Judiciary has taken a decision. Right now, if you file a case in the court, one judge, sitting alone, has to satisfy that it is urgent before you can be heard virtually. However, we are taking the risk of meeting all of us. This is playing too much with the hand of fate. Politicians have now been described as super spreaders. I was listening to the sermon by a priest who was condemning politicians. Happily for me, when he was condemning us, behind him, there were several people who were not wearing masks. Therefore, he is also a super spreader, unknowingly. Having said all that, I support."
