    "content": "the online committee meetings. The CSs and PSs must appear and be taken to account by the Members. Finally, when we took the last recess because of the COVID-19 Pandemic, you will remember we ended up with the COVID-19 billionaires’ scandal. How I pray we shall not recess and end up with COVID vaccines billionaires. How I pray that those who enrich themselves out of this pandemic while other Kenyans are dying will never find peace. That their families may never find peace if they use the pandemic to enrich themselves. I beg those in the Executive charged with the responsibility of ensuring that Kenyans are vaccinated to do so without fear or favour. Even as we close down counties, let us remember we have locked down five counties which are among the most productive in this country. Nairobi, Kiambu, Kajiado and Machakos are some of the most productive counties in terms of revenue generation in this country. We are talking about people’s lives. I was just watching a clip here from elsewhere and someone is saying that lockdowns are now a luxury of the rich because the rich can afford to stay at home and still afford a meal. There are Kenyans today who cannot fend for their children because they depend on what they earn on a daily basis from the food kiosk they run. That is why I support the idea of committees continuing to sit. Maybe it is time we continued to ask the Executive to be considerate of the millions of hustlers who depend on what they eke out for a living every day."
