"content": " Hon. Speaker, thank you. Let me also support the petitioner. What should concern us, as a country, is why we are so generous in allowing our space to other people even when it is very clear that there are certain countries which should be marked red. Like when this variant erupted in India, this country should have put in place stringent measures to deter or stop the possibility of people travelling from India and bringing this dangerous variant to our country. Listening to my sister Hon. Passaris, you realise that those who are positive were being put on one side and those who are negative on another side yet you travelled in the same plane and this virus takes about 14 days. It can hide in your body for many days. So, what measures did the officers who are concerned take to ensure that those who had not shown those symptoms or had tested positive are put under some kind of surveillance? Finally, something really interested me and allow me to say it and not really to cheapen the debate on this. It is true that when this variant hit Kisumu, the other counties which were very affected were Vihiga and Kakamega. Clearly, I have been telling my brother and neighbour here, Hon. Omboko Milemba, that that demonstrates how close Vihiga and Kakamega are to Kisumu more than Homa Bay and Migori. When any project is carried out in Kisumu, it is evident that it benefits Vihiga and Kakamega more than Homa Bay and Migori. That is why when there is a disaster like this, they equally share in that disaster more than Homa Bay and Migori. I want to advise my colleague to tell his party members that are always complaining when projects are implemented in Kisumu, that the projects benefit Vihiga and Kakamega more than they benefit Homa Bay and Migori. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
