    "content": "governments, county assemblies and my fellow Senators to be on the lookout because a lot of money will go to the counties and we need to oversight and ensure that the money is put to good use. I would also like to talk about restriction of movement of persons and other measures such as the curfew that have been put in place. We discussed these matters with the CS. The question is; do we just put these measures in place and hope that COVID-19 will go away? Once an area is locked down, the first thing should be testing. People should be tested and whoever is positive should be isolated. However, for our case, we have the curfew but nothing is going on. Why lock down a place like Kibera and do nothing? What is the national Government’s intention of putting such restrictions? Testing should be done to know who is COVID-19 positive. The other question is; are the isolation centres ready? I can assure you that those centres in the counties are not ready. Let it not be a talkshow. We should act. We hope that governors who will be given the money will ensure that testing is done and whoever is found positive is quarantined or put in isolation centre. As my Chair has said, more work is going on and we will be keeping the House informed on whatever comes up during the course of our work. With that, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to second and thank you."
