    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I would like to comment on the statement made by my Chair, Hon. Katoo ole Metito. The issue of the importance of this discussion cannot be gainsaid. What we did not get from the Cabinet Secretary for Foreign Affairs is the confidence that the country is well prepared. We have an issue even with the comments by our envoy Ambassador Sarah Serem. The moment she comes on television and looks like she has been defeated, it makes us feel desperate. Now that there is a taskforce to deal with this issue, it will be very critical that the right information be channelled to the public. They must have consistent, calculated and well-prepared press releases almost daily. What is happening now is almost getting xenophobic because every Chinese you see… People are running away from every Chinese because they think they are all carrying the disease. It also strains the relationship between the two countries. Recently you saw an abduction of a Chinese national in Dagoretti. I think it is all related and it is important that this taskforce following what the President has directed, gives consistent information that is factual and timely so that confidence is restored to the country and that we handle this pandemic and be are prepared so that people understand the difference between isolation and quarantine. They do not even understand and I hope this team will consistently communicate to give confidence to the citizenry and to this country. Thank you, Hon. Speaker"
