    "content": " Hon. Chairman, I can confirm. The Leader of the Majority Party is perfectly in order. I can confirm that the amendments I am moving are contained in a letter Reference No.ES1/07/02B (36) dated 24th April 2020 signed by the Cabinet Secretary, Ukur Yattani. In relation to this, the Kshs200 million is rationalisation of the additional budgetary provisions of Kshs200 million granted to the State Department for the Interior. That is the Kshs200 million that had been granted to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) as a reallocation from the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security. However, under the famous Kshs40 billion, there was an additional Kshs200 million that had also been provided for policing services. Therefore, there is no need to double-allocate to the tune of Kshs400 million. Also, in relation to the Multi-Agency Command Centre - the Kshs500 million that Members raised issues with going to the National Intelligence Service (NIS) - a lot of the work in relation to COVID-19 is with regard to contact tracing. I am sure the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Health can confirm this. Doctors, nurses and clinicians do not have the capacity to trace contacts. I do not know if it is trace contacts or contact tracing. The National Intelligence Service has the capability to work together with telecommunication companies."
