"content": "The reason I have risen to speak is because I think one media house, The Star, if it wants to retain some credence, should go out and say that the narrative they brought out of 17 Members testing positive was fake news. Sometimes it is decent and makes sense to accept where you went wrong. That was alarmist and to me, they were selling panic to the people of Kenya. It was completely unnecessary. I want to encourage those who have not been tested to get tested. In fact, you should allow those who took the test to take another one because 4th April was a while ago. I would want to be retested. Possibly, if we had the capacity, we would do this test weekly because you can contract this disease anytime. So, the media needs to correct that narrative because it was selling panic and discouraging Kenyans from taking the test which should be the standard. It is only that as a country we are lacking the capacity to do mass testing. Everybody in this country should go for this test. That is the only way we can know we are safe as a country."
