Olekina","speaker_title":"","speaker":{"id":407,"legal_name":"Ledama Olekina","slug":"ledama-olekina"},"content":"Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to move the following amendment to the Motion- “THAT, the Motion be amended in paragraph (d) of the proposed resolution by inserting a new paragraph iii (a) to read as follows- “Measures to ensure that funds collected to combat the effects of COVID-19 be allocated to county governments for modernising open air markets in their respective counties to comply with the World Health Organization (WHO) one metre social distancing.” Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have moved this amendment because when you travel to all our 47 counties, most pastoral communities depend on open-air markets. If you come to Nairobi, for instance, you will see the dangers when you visit a place like Kangemi where it is business as usual for everybody. By inserting this, paragraph iii(a), we will ensure that our open air markets and county governments are assisted."}
