I want to appreciate the fact that the Committee has said that they have met all the Ministries. However, we still need to hear from other institutions what they are doing; what efforts they are putting in place. For example, we need to hear much from the Ministry of Education and what they are doing to salvage the situation of our children who are home and some who have no electricity or gadgets to use for learning. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we also need a clear budget guideline on what has been spent and what needs to be spent on what. In the Report, I see that there is a gap because we needed to get facts on how much has been spent on Personal Protective Equipment (PPEs), how much has been spent on the personnel; are the personnel given allowances? Has their salary been increased and by how much and in which counties? We need to get facts. Sen. Sakaja needs to give us a factual report; a report with figures on what has been spent on what. Finally, we also need to get a well written report on the measures that can help the needy people in our counties. Our counties are suffering because people have no water and they are being told to wash their hands. What is the Ministry of Water doing about this? Some people are starving---"
