    "content": "I am wondering why my colleagues are creating a big confusion while we have a very important business to transact here. As we speak, so many people are placed under quarantine and they have no funds to clear their bills. We have not only put them in very difficult positions, but we have also risked their lives. Remember, when you are placed under quarantine in a hotel, the hotel’s owner expects you to clear the bill at the end of your stay. It is unfortunate that despite having appropriated Kshs2.6 billion for COVID-19 pandemic intervention, the Government has not set aside some amount of money to clear bills for those placed under mandatory quarantine. Second, it is also crystal clear that we have problems in our priority ranking with regards to intervention of COVID-19 pandemic. By the way, the Ksh2.6 billion we are talking about seems to be only meant for COVID-19 infected areas and not the 290 constituencies in this country. This is because, as we speak, all the MPs can confirm that the only ongoing interventions in our constituencies are cessation of movement and curfew. So, what are we appropriating this money for? We must get our priorities right. We must carry out a real needs assessment in all the constituencies. The first priority is food.
