    "content": "I stand guided, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. However, the point I was making is that I watched on television the CS, Ministry of Health warning Kenyans that if they are not careful, they will be injected with water on the pretext of getting a vaccine. Therefore, the concerns raised by Sen. Cherargei are important. It is good to have a legal framework in place to guide us on how we allow the importation of these vaccines. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, Covid-19 has been with us since March last year. To date, only 1.3 per cent of Kenyans have been vaccinated. With that in mind, we are still being careless and casual. I was given forms outside to sign for a Devolution Conference that is supposed to house thousands of Kenyans who are unvaccinated. If you go to most countries, you cannot attend such huge conferences unless there is prove that the people who are attending have all been vaccinated. As a country, we have dropped our guard and are being casual and careless yet if you look at the statistics today, we are at 18 per cent positivity rate. The warning from the health specialists is that we are moving to a serious phase of Covid-19 in the next two months. So, what mechanisms has the Government put in place to ensure that all Kenyans are vaccinated? Those who want to do it through private means can do so. I am worried about the majority of Kenyans who cannot afford these vaccines and do not seem to have clear guidelines from the Government as to when they will be eligible for vaccination."
