    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. A lot of Kenyans have raised concerns over this issue. Some have sent me messages saying we have let them down on this particular incident. They think that we are not speaking about it. I am happy that Sen. Mugo is here because, at some point, she was in charge of public health. It worries me a little that we do not have any emergency protocols. Sen. Sakaja and I proposed a legal framework on Disaster Management and Emergencies. That proposal is lying somewhere. This is a real emergency. My dear colleagues, it is not even about scanning flights from China, but from everywhere. This is because people are leaving these concerned areas in China and fly to Europe and from Europe they fly to Kenya. What worries me is this thing called self quarantine. I said somewhere in a post that it is an oxymoron. One would lock himself in a room, look at himself in a mirror, examine yourself, treat yourself then give a certificate to yourself showing that you have no Coronavirus; and walk out saying that you are healthy. I do not even know whether someone in the Ministry is being careless. The idea that someone can quarantine himself or herself, or to suggest that anybody that comes in from China must go into self quarantine is something that is not known in medical terms, it is wrong. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I saw you standing next to the President. Maybe you could just whisper to him that ‘this is a national emergency, the ones in the Constitution. Can you declare an emergency and quarantine the airport and other places where these people are coming in? When I was receiving my party leader, there is a lady I met at the airport who raised a very serious concern. She said there are people who are refusing to be examined.
