    "content": "In terms of supporting Kenyans who are exposed as a result of COVID-19, we have the traditional vulnerable groups. These are the elderly, orphans and widows. However, there is a new group which has come up which is very vulnerable as a result of COVID-19 and these are people who have been sacked from their employment. People have been told to remain in their houses and they are saying that they are dying because they have no food. With these resources, we urge the Select Committee on the Prevention, Response and Management of COVID-19 to immediately take action and support these Kenyans. Secondly, other than what we have provided as Parliament, there is a lot of money that is being given by the private sector through the Emergency Fund (EF). For now, as a country, we have to put in place a very clear monitoring, evaluation and accountability framework, to assure those who are going to give money that it will be put to good use. This is the issue with county governments. We also urge county governments to properly target some of these resources."
