    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank you. I will try to say as much as I can in two minutes. I would like to thank Sen. Kasanga and Sen. Kwamboka for bringing this Statement. It will be remembered that when the first incident of Corona Virus was reported, China put up two fully furnished hospitals in 12 days to deal with the crisis, although they are now clearly overwhelmed. We need to tighten our surveillance in all border entry points, to ensure that anyone coming into the country, whether from China or any other part of the world, are properly screened. The screening of Corona Virus should go beyond taking temperatures because that is not enough. The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared Corona Virus as a public health emergency of international concern. The declaration by the WHO should push our Government to better action and coordination. Yesterday, we discussed the calamity that has visited this country by the desert locusts. The Senate through the leadership of the Speaker, summoned the Cabinet Secretary for Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries to appear before the Senate to give a status report and update us on what is being done by the Government to deal with that crisis. Mr. Speaker, Sir, Corona Virus is a bigger crisis than the desert locusts. What shall the Senate of the Republic of Kenya do to ensure that our people are safe inside and outside the country? I thank you."
