    "content": "The Ministry of Health through the county governments has also done the vaccination because of COVID-19 Pandemic. The target was around 1.2 million Kenyans. In this year’s Budget there is allocation for COVID-19 vaccines. I know the majority of Kenyans have not even managed to get even the first dose of the vaccine. The allocation of money for the COVID-19 vaccine will make sure that more Kenyan are covered and we get the vaccine though the challenge is that we have to rely on other countries and donors that are now producing the vaccine. Therefore, we took it upon ourselves as a Committee to add more money to Kenya Medical Research Institute (KEMRI) so that we enhance our research because the trials of the vaccine are done in this country. We believe we have great men and women, our scientists, who can come up with a vaccine in Kenya. If South Africa has its vaccine, why not Kenya? So, we have put a lot of effort to get some little money to KEMRI when the Ministry had not considered them."
