    "content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I stand to push the Motion for the establishment of an ad-hoc committee on COVID-19 prevention, response and management. THAT, aware that the Coronavirus Pandemic (COVID-19) was declared by the World Health Organization (WHO) to be a public health emergency of international concern; Deeply concerned on the serious threat posed to the health and socio-economic lives of Kenyans by the continued spread of the pandemic; Appreciating that both the National and County Governments have put in place some targeted interventions to respond and manage the COVID-19 pandemic through among others, enhanced medical and public health actions, mitigating socio-economic shocks arising from the impact of the pandemic, creation of a National Emergency Response Fund to foster the national response to the pandemic, and formation of a National Emergency Response Committee on Coronavirus which is tasked with among other things, to coordinate Kenya’s preparedness, prevention and response to the threat of COVID-19, and develop mitigation strategies with regard to the disease. Cognizant that some of the policy measures and targeted interventions put in place by the Government are yet to be anchored in legislation and/or approved by Parliament; Now therefore, this House resolves as follows: (i) to acknowledge and appreciate individuals and corporate entities, development partners and multinational institutions for local and international technical, financial and human assistance efforts and support in response to the pandemic; The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
