    "content": " Hon. Speaker, I beg your indulgence. The response to this request is lengthy, counting to 11 pages. I kindly request that I table it. A copy has been given to the Member for Kikuyu to go through. Just in case he has issues he may not be satisfied with, he can get in touch with me and, as a Committee, we commit to solve or address those issues. Before I table it, I would like to point out that this Statement is multi-sectoral. It involves the Ministry of Health because it is about the Covid-19 vaccines with respect to people travelling to China. It also involves the Department of Immigration, which is domiciled in the Ministry of Interior and Co-ordination of National Government because it was also asking about work permits and visa for people who have travelled to China. It also has an element of the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA), which is under the Ministry of Finance, because it was asking about imports that have come to Kenya from China since the time of outbreak of Covid-19. Therefore, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which my Committee oversees, was just acting as a link to coordinate the other various Government Departments to get the information. As such, the KRA has requested for two more weeks to respond to issues that pertain to them, especially on the issue of imports. The rest of the elements of the request, which concern the Immigration Department, the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, have been responded to. That is why the response is lengthy. Kindly, allow me to table it."
