    "content": "The issue of vaccination is sad given the statistics that Sen. Cherargei has shared with us. Having been one of the lucky ones that got the vaccine, I did not just realize how low the numbers of people that have been vaccinated is. About 1.3 per cent is barely a drop in the ocean with all these spikes and incidents of Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) and deaths as well. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, it is sad that we are not seeing the urgency with which these vaccinations are being imported and distributed. The campaign that we should be seeing now is about talking to Kenyans on the importance of vaccination and including the private sector in this because I do not think we will manage this disease at this rate because our facilities will be overrun. I do not want to say much because the Statement is very specific. We need to be told the plans in place to, for instance, involve the private sector. That is a very good suggestion from Sen. Cherargei to ensure that we multiply our efficiencies in terms of making sure that this is not just any distribution or routine vaccination, this is lifesaving. This pandemic is one thing that we need to provide urgency for. Congratulations Senator and I support."
