    "content": "Thank you. This is to enable us to carry out our oversight responsibilities. Secondly, we also have to perform our responsibilities. We cannot continue earning salaries, having been elected by the people of Kenya to protect to them from this pandemic. We cannot go into hiding and expect other leaders, I do not where, to think about the issues that are affecting the people of Kenya. With the closure of the eateries, the transport system having been stopped, the curfew that is affecting five counties, so many people are out of employment. This House must be meeting to think about the interventions we are going to give. I saw the Governor of Machakos County attempted to propose certain social safety nets for the people of Machakos. However, we all know that a governor cannot do it. We will only believe those social safety nets if the County Assembly of Machakos met to pass them because some of them relate to licenses, taxation, which the executive in Machakos does not have the powers to determine. It is in the same way, as a Parliament, we must be here to pass various Motions, resolutions, and legislation that will protect the people of Kenya."
