    "content": "Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the amendment to the Motion to alter the Senate Calendar. You are aware that I had already proposed the idea of a hybrid sitting so that we continue working as the legislature of this country because we are representatives of the people and they are looking upon us for directions on certain issues. People are more trusting of the Members of Parliament than they are of the Executive. It was important that we continue with these sittings even if it is just the virtual committee sittings, or where necessary have physical meetings as is envisaged in the amendment by Sen. (Dr.) Ochillo-Ayacko. It is important that we continue with these sittings because we have Kenyans of goodwill who are making donations to our county and national hospitals. Who is going to check to ensure that these donations are well received and well utilized; to make sure that the Executive facilitates the process of receiving these donations to help Kenyans who are facing this pandemic? Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker. I support the amendment."
