    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Motion. I do not believe that it is necessary for us to call for a complete Government shutdown because of this imported disease. We have been told that a fourth Kenyan has been found positive and he flew from London. All those who have been found to be positive got in touch with the person who flew in. So this is an imported disease. I worry about Kenyans in the streets. I also worry about prisoners particularly who are locked in prisons because the people manning them are in contact with the rest of the world. If we were to panic, we are already bringing a lot of psychological issues. A lot of people sometimes end up dying not because of a disease but because of Post- Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Mr. Speaker, Sir, the amendment brought about by Sen. Ochillo-Ayacko is for us to realize that first, we have got an economy which is different from the rest of the world. It will be completely hypocritical for us who are blessed to think. Once our life is disrupted, our salary will not stop. The people on the ground like the construction workers and those in prison who do not have anyone to defend them should be cushioned.
