    "content": "In future, the country must invest in training and capacitating students from universities deliberately by training them all over the world to continue doing research. Our universities should get special resources through this pandemic, so that we can continue researching on these infectious diseases and many more to come. The people of Wuhan, where they thought this disease was over, have now five new infections. Chances are that we will live with COVID-19 until the end of this year. Therefore, I hope that the reliefs and things that this Committee has proposed in this Bill, which are very noble - except the ones of retrenching workers and them going on unpaid leave--- Kenyans must feel that the Government takes care and is feeling them through the resources that they are collecting. That money cannot be wasted. Therefore, penalties for people who pilfer money when people are suffering should be more. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we should not forget the police as frontline workers, because they are doing the same thing that the doctors are doing, but differently. Recognition and those allowances that you provide for purposes for medical care and people who are helping Kenyans must be given to them. We must congratulate our doctors. These allowances must be given to the police who are working overtime to ensure that Kenyans are at home before 7.00 p.m. Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker Sir. I support."
