    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I join my colleagues in supporting this Statement. I want to start by saying that Corona Virus is a severe pulmonary infection. The signs include fever, sepsis, shock, failure of the kidney, among others. It causes death as we have witnessed. The statistics indicate that so far we have 73,336 people infected and the number is still rising. Out of that, only 13 have recovered. That means that only seven per cent of the population has recovered. It is a disease that we really need to curb. Mr. Speaker, Sir, as my colleagues have said, our borders are not manned properly. The way people are being screened at the airport is reckless. We are not doing the best that we need to do. I happened to work in the Ministry of Health’s Disease Surveillance Unit, and I know what is done there. What we are doing in Kenya right now is to prepare beds. Are they for dead bodies or what are we doing? We need to work hand in hand with the Ministry, which is reluctant, and the Committee on Health of which I am a Member. We need to come up with measures that can help Kenyans. Giving statements the way our Ambassador is doing is not enough. That only puts us all at risk. It gives no assurance to Kenyans. When the Government is worried, what about a common mwananchi out there?"
