    "content": "A huge aspect of this Bill is what we are referring to as social economic protection which is extremely important. A big portion of our population in many towns and cities cannot fend for themselves during this time of curfew. We do have a night economy. The restaurants where the waiters, waitresses, barmen and bouncers used to work have been closed. We spoke to Uber and other taxi drivers. At Kenya Airways (KQ), we have hundreds of flight attendants and pilots who are not on pay right now. They need to be cushioned. There are no two ways to think about it. Their cushioning is not just by sending food. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, there is a fallacy that the only people who need support are in slums. That is not true. If many of us missed their salaries twice, there will be a problem and you will not only find them in Kibera or Mathari slums; you will also find them in Hurlingham, Kilimani, South C, in the villages and places which normally would not be targeted through social assistance programmes. They need to be cushioned through us cushioning their employers and business."
