(Dr.) Lang’at","speaker_title":"","speaker":{"id":13189,"legal_name":"Christopher Andrew Langat","slug":"christopher-andrew-langat"},"content":"Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speake, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to make my contribution. I thank the Committee for the good work they have done and a lot of effort that they have put in, despite the challenges that the country is currently facing. My worry is that as much as we are fighting COVID-19, there are many challenges facing our people, especially in slums because of lack of food. My worry is that we might be fighting COVID- 19 only for our people to die as result of malnutrition. What are we doing to the street children to alleviate their suffering? I saw some well-wishers yesterday trying to feed some street children who are so malnourished that they were almost unable to speak. There is a strong disconnect between the Ministries of Health and Education. I have seen the CS, Ministry of Education coming up with some weird statements to do with education during this period of COVID-19."}
