    "content": "Madam Deputy Speaker, while I appreciate the sentiments of my friend, Sen. M. Kajwang’, is it in order for Sen. Cherargei to be accused of misleading the House? Remember I chaired this Committee on COVID-19 Situation in Kenya and one of the things we told the Ministry is to be very careful in its communication. If anything, the idea of there being a COVID-19 variant in any part of this country came from a briefing by that Committee on COVID-19 Situation in Kenya by Dr. Amoth or one of those officials. Then a few days later, it turned out that it was not proven. As a House, we need to task the Ministry of Health. I wish I was still in that Committee. Our Committee on Health should task them to come clear because they are the ones spreading fear. There is nowhere Sen. Cherargei would have gotten information on the Indian or Jamaican variant. Madam Deputy Speaker, we need proper information. We realize that we are having a serious function on1st June which is a national function. The President is going there. Baba was there yesterday and we saw how well he was received by Kenyans who love him, but it cannot be the Ministry itself spreading fear. Spare Sen. Cherargei because he is not informed. I hope someone can bring a Statement to that effect. If not, I will bring one tomorrow or the next time we sit, for the Ministry of Health to be very clear about the statement they issued a few weeks ago, saying they had tested one or two people with that variant."
