    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. First, I support the statement by the Senator for Migori, Sen. Eddy, on minerals, which is quite weighty. I would wish the committee that is going to look at that statement to go deeper and even tell us what the body that has been conducting the geological survey looks at for them to term certain minerals strategic. This is because for a long time, I have been thinking soapstone and whatever that surrounds it from Kisi, is strategic enough to convince the Ministry or Government to support that as an economic activity. It goes a long way in solving the economic needs of the locals and the country. I am worried that we are put aside by having some minerals termed strategic. The committee should shed light, so that I am able to know if indeed we fall below that bar or it is a means of sidelining soapstone miners and carvers. I also wish to support the statement by Sen. Seki. We have had rampant shortage of vaccines. I do not know why this is recurring. Is it poor forecasting or general lapse in the Ministry? We do not want to lose our children. They are the future of this country, but it is sad that most of them are now missing out on these very crucial vaccines, which are very crucial at their developmental stages. We should not even be talking about this right now. The Ministry needs to stop every other thing and address the matter on infant vaccines."
