    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to support this Motion in its amended form. I commend the President for his statement. It must be clear that his statement was not obligatory when referring to Parliament. It was clear that he knows the role of the tripartite arm of Government in ensuring the smooth running of the country. This makes the statement a request. He requested the two Speakers to see how this can be fast- tracked. If Kenyans can remember and flashback, the President came up with raft of measures when COVID-19 pandemic was first reported, because he empathized with Kenyans and wanted to see how they can be helped throughout the pandemic. It must be clear in the minds of Kenyans and parliamentarians that the President was well meaning. He wants to walk together with Parliament during this COVID-19 pandemic. Also, the President walked his talk by taking the COVID-19 jab with his family. This is a message to Kenyans that COVID-19 is real. We have to protect ourselves, our loved ones and fellow Kenyans. As we address the issue of COVID-19, the amendment in this House is to ensure service delivery to Kenyans. It is clear that Committees are obligated to pursue issues that come to Parliament and are platforms to listen to Kenyans. The issue of virtual meetings will help parliamentarians listen to Kenyans and see how to help them. As I stand here, Persons With Disabilities (PWD) are wondering what will become of them. What will be done to cushion them during this period of pandemic?"
