    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I support the statement by Sen. Seki on the shortage of vaccines. At Independence, there were three major things that the founding fathers promised to sort, which were disease, ignorance and hunger. It is a pity that after over 60 years of Independence, we still want to talk about tackling disease. Could it be that we are leaving our children to languish and die? Coupled with this, I would like the committee to tackle the issue of immunization financing, which is going to be a problem in this country, especially as donors are going to pull out by 2029. If we have a problem by now, it means we are running into a greater problem. Secondly, I want to support the statement by Sen. Eddy Oketch on the concerns regarding the state of small-scale mining in Kenya. Just a few weeks ago, we saw over five women die in some of those mining sites. We would like the Ministry to also state the safety measures they are putting in place for the artisanal miners and the small-scale miners all over in the mining areas. Lastly, is on the aerial survey of minerals that was done. Why do we find it easy to know where our natural resources, such as wild animals and forests are, and somebody does not want to make public the inventory on minerals? Kenyans deserve to have this knowledge. There should be a lot of concern on those statements. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate."
