    "content": ".: Madam Temporary Speaker, I will brief. The recess is well deserved. Unknown to many of us, the Senate staff, for example, sergeant-at-arms and clerk assistants are going through a lot to serve us every other day although a lot of our work is done online. So, it is a good break for them. Let us not forget that the delta variant has not taken a break. In fact, at this moment, I would have preferred to say that the Council of Governors (CoGs) is being a little inconsiderate about the Devolution Conference. I have just seen a note sent to delegates that each of them must have double vaccination. Assuming that one takes their vaccination tomorrow, the other vaccination must be in 14 or more days because there are effects of the vaccine. So, I am not sure whether they are being considerate. The CS has repeatedly said that the fact that a person has a double vaccine does not necessarily mean that they are safe. We have lost a number of Kenyans to the delta variant even though they have received a double vaccination. When you call a meeting of 6,000 people and each delegate must have a double vaccination, it is inconsiderate to mama mboga who sells vegetables in Wote because she will not have a double vaccination. We are losing many Kenyans. The burials that we are having suggests that we should have taken a little consideration about the Devolution Conference. I am not certain whether we need to have a Devolution Conference in the next two weeks based on the reports we are having from our hospitals, vaccinations et cetera . There you have it. When governors want their way, they will get their way. However, I pray that this does not cause a problem in Makueni County because it will spread into the villages and create a crisis. I do not want to stand here as the Senator of Makueni County to praise the Devolution Conference which I know can result into several deaths and problems in our community. Madam Temporary Speaker, we take a break but we hope we can complete some of the work. I hope the Committee on National Security, Defense and Foreign Relations and Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights can get to the bottom of the killings in Embu as quickly as possible. Let me thank the Senators who have for the last three or four weeks participated in the Divisions. We have now given the National Assembly something to do. I hope when we come back we can squeeze the program as quickly as possible to complete as much work as possible. Madam Temporary Speaker, otherwise, for the work done by our secretariat, we thank the Clerk for availing our clerks and making sure that the Bills that were going for Second Reading have been republished and some have gone for public participation.
