    "content": "pandemic. In proposing this Bill, we just want to make it easier and seamless next time by putting the structures in place. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, a pandemic is a rare phenomenon. The nature and characteristic of a pandemic is not predictable. The measures needed to manage may vary from one pandemic to another. History has shown that pandemics have so far bombarded the world ranging from plagues, smallpox to different strains of flu. They have been overcome by embracing varied measures. Therefore, having a straight jacket legislation may not be effective. This is why we noticed that the Bill proposes measures that are not too restrictive in order to give that wiggling room that is necessary, depending on the nature of the pandemic that, God forbid, we may face again. After publication of the Bill and close of submissions of public memorandum on 1st of May, 2020, we have so far received 64 submissions on the Bill from organizations and individuals. Fellow Senators have also given immense support. We had submissions from Sen. Mugo and Sen. Ochillo-Ayacko. We want to thank them very much. In fact, we shall be inviting them to address the Committee on this issue."
