Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to start by thanking you and the Senate for taking this step. In its own wisdom, the Senate particularly, decided that we were meeting today and next week on Tuesday, and thereafter determine the calendar of events. There has been misconception out there, which has gone to members of the public, that the Senate is no longer at work. That by virtue of not convening here, we are not working. Far from it! I want to demonstrate what other Senates and Parliaments in the world have done, so that people can appreciate that this is not just confined to the Parliament of Kenya; it is a r0esponse to this global pandemic. Mr. Speaker, Sir, in Denmark, Parliament – like you did in your direction – made certain provisions; that Parliament will not have more than 10 people. This is because there is a provision in the whole country that not more than 10 people should be sitting in"
