    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker, I want to support what Hon. Omulele has said and considering what Members have raised. Even when the Committee was moving the Bill, I think it would have been important for it to have looked at what it is we wanted to achieve with the Bill because its spirit did not achieve what he intended. He might have been thinking of perhaps setting up parking spaces and how we control entries within buildings, hospitals and other facilities. The way he has drafted it, I think it would be a waste of our time as a House to deliberate on a Bill that we are saying is flawed. It is not even amending any other Act. It is important that we step down this Bill, so that the House can transact other important matters. I also wanted to echo some sentiments raised by Hon. Nyikal on the COVID-19 that is now a major issue in the world. One of the things that you realise is that even with issues of self- quarantine, this virus can be spread through sneezing and contact even through just greeting someone. If you have secretions of fluid and there is contact, even touching buildings and touching any other materials, it can spread. That is why it has become very difficult for the Chinese to control those who are infected. When you read newspapers, every day the number of cases of those who are dying and those who are even getting infected is rising and is a worrying concern. You have even seen a country like Italy that did not have cases now has reported cases of deaths. Therefore, I think this matter calls for this country to look at it with a lot of seriousness. Ideally, we do not have capacity to control this disease. China is a superpower and The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only.
