"content": "defend a process of changing the Constitution, going to retreats to discuss succession of the outgoing President. Madam Temporary Speaker, the legacy of President Kenyatta, particularly during this pandemic period, should have been to ensure Kenyans are vaccinated, the country is free and open and that we will go to the next election. By now, Kenyans should be enjoying freedoms of Article 38 of the Constitution. They should be interacting with their leaders and we should be having campaign rallies full to capacity. Sportsmen and women are suffering across the country. They are not attending football training; neither do they have fans in the stadia. Athletes should be enjoying their sports time, but they are still going through the structures of social distance and not using stadia. This is shameful. Despite all these conversations – I was discussing with Sen. (Dr.) Ali of Wajir County – we all know the country has been given a lot of money from the World Bank. The money is ostensibly to finance COVID-19 issues. Where is that money going? Some of the money is being channeled to county governments. I have not seen anything in my county to show anything to do with COVID-19 pandemic is being done. Across the country, people are suffering. Sen. Kajwang talked about Nyanza – I had a discussion with him about Homa Bay County – people are dying like flies. It is because there are no health facilities and people cannot get oxygen. This is an issue that should prick our conscience. We must re-channel the resources of this country to vaccinate Kenyans."
