    "content": " Hon. Senators, I hereby report to the Senate that a Petition has been submitted through the Clerk by residents working in Kisumu County. As you are aware, Article 119(1) of the Constitution states as follows: - “Every person has a right to petition Parliament to consider any matter within its authority including enacting, amending or repealing any regulation.” Hon. Senators, the salient issues raised in the said Petition are: (1) In May, 2021, the Ministry of Health reported that it had recorded the first five cases of the Indian COVID-19 variant in Kisumu and further confirmed that the variant was confirmed from samples picked from persons who had travelled from abroad, working in the western part of the country. (2) The residents allegedly established that the said persons who had travelled from abroad are employees of Kibos Sugar Factory Limited which is based in Kajulu Ward, Kisumu County. (3) In spite of the threat posed by COVID-19 pandemic employees at the company continued to work alongside their counterparts who had been to India recently and thereby increasing the risk to local residents. (4) Allegedly the cases of COVID-19 continued to rise exponentially in Kajulu Chiga area with little or no effort being made by the factory owners and the County Government of Kisumu in spite of COVID-19 containment measures being enforced by the national Government."
