    "content": "appointment of the Auditor-General, so that the office is occupied and money is accounted for. I will go straight to the issue of quarantine, which is a good measure to deal with the pandemic. However, this approach has been abused and turned to a prison cell or victimization. There is money being collected in quarantine facilities. Can we know from the people who are handling these quarantine centers, who collects the money, how it is collected, why it is being collected, how much is collected and the accounts this money is taken to? Who suggested that money be collected from the people who are quarantined, putting into consideration that some people got themselves into this situation without their knowledge or because of the contact tracing? Lastly, this is notification to the Committee. We have a very important cadre of health personnel, who are always forgotten when it comes to accessing the patients. These are the health records and information officers who are front liners. There are receptionists who receive these patients and they are always forgotten while collecting views. I urge the Committee to allow these people to speak their minds, because they are the first people who receive the patients, record and keep the confidentiality of these patients. They are important and need to be protected and talked to. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will not leave the Floor without speaking on the issue of sacking or alleged demotion. I happen to work with the Ministry of Health and KEMRI. It is very unfortunate that when the Kenya Medical Research Institute (KEMRI) is putting its best foot forward to make sure that Kenya gets the best results when it comes to handling this pandemic, its personnel are demotivated. The sacking of the head of the institution is a demoralization to other people. This move may make them not work in line with their profession and expertise."
