    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I rise pursuant to Standing Order No. 51 (1) (a) to make a Statement regarding the COVID-19 pandemic situation that is currently ravaging this country. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), as of 22nd March, 2021, there were 122,922,844 confirmed cases of COVID-19 and 2,711,071 attributed to the pandemic across the globe. In Africa, the WHO reported 3, 600, 474 confirmed cases and 76,241 deaths. While in Kenya, it reported 120, 910 confirmed cases and 2, 011 deaths. This represents almost double the number of confirmed cases and deaths that had been reported in Kenya in November, 2020. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, according to the Ministry of Health, these figures are continuing to rise at an alarming rate. Indeed, with the current patient demand outstripping hospitals bed capacity, there are fears that this country is in the midst of a third wave that is more deadly than the first two waves that we had experienced."
