    "content": "institutions have proposed a freeze of employment by the Government as a pre-condition for external borrowing will definitely compound this crisis. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the containment measures by the Government are hurting the people too. For instance, as much as the curfew is a necessary health protocol, the Government needs to be alive to the plight of certain small scale businesses people such as fishermen and fishmongers who operate at night. The COVID-19 pandemic and the attendant unemployment crisis has led to other societal problems such as drug and alcohol abuse, mental health problems, crime, murder and suicides which we all see on our television sets. I believe economic recovery should be a structured and planned process. As the national legislative body and leaders in the country, we should have this structured conversation on economic recovery post pandemic. The current budget for the Financial Year 2021/2022 title Building Back Better should be implemented to ensure economic recovery and growth. If we do not look out for the people of Kenya especially the youth, then I wonder who will. Thank you."
