    "content": "Hotel owners in tourist establishments are not the only service providers in the tourism industry. People who deal in production and sale of handcrafts, small eateries that sustain the tourism industry in small and big towns on the highways ought to benefit from this fund that has been set up. If it is somebody who has a roadside eatery in Nyeri, Homa Bay, Bungoma or Isiolo, he needs to be also taken care of so that he can benefit from this fund that has been set up. For all the money that has been sent to counties for COVID-19 interventions, all that governor will tell you when you meet them is that they have put it into hardware such as beds that have not even been put to good use. They have squandered the money on this or that seminars, awareness and all manner of things, yet people are suffering. When one asks them who they have been making aware of COVID-19 pandemic because everybody now knows about it, they do not even tell, yet the money is gone. We need the responsible Committee, I understand from yesterday’s proceedings that you directed that we need the ad hoc Committee back. The leadership of this House – Sen. Dullo is sitting here; I do not see anybody on the Minority side - must come together quickly and reconstitute the ad hoc Committee that can report to this House on a weekly basis on the management of COVID-19 funds. This is because the “COVID-19 Billionaires” are not limited to those who swindled the Kenya Medical Supplies Authority (KEMSA). There are others out there in the counties that are frisking away money meant to help--- On a light touch, I am told my distinguished colleague from Nyeri---"
