    "content": "by the threat of the spread of the COVID-19 Pandemic caused by the influx of foreign travellers transiting through this country. Kenya was removed from the red list recently, but this incident of uncontrolled isolation centres and the absence of COVID-19 protocols have put Kenya’s status at great risk. It is against this background that I seek a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security on the following: (i) Could the Chairman explain why the Immigration Department had not consulted their Pakistan counterparts and inspect the Pakistan nationals transiting through this country? (ii) Is the Ministry aware of the intent of this exodus in great numbers? (iii) Why has the Ministry not yet raised or identified the organisers of these travels in Kenya and Pakistan, whom have been paid US$4,500 for each case? (iv) Could the Minister confirm whether COVID-19 protocols in respect of isolation were not strictly observed and resulted in risk of exposing Kenyans as a result of the large number of Pakistan nationals in this country? Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
