    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to support this Bill. I rise to congratulate the Committee. It is doing a good job in helping us to understand this pandemic that we are currently going through; the COVID-19. Indeed, you are swimming in waters that people have not swam in before. There is no single country in the globe that has a solution or a formula to COVID-19. Every other time, Heads of States are asked when they are re-opening their economies and when they are reducing and removing the lockdowns and the curfews, but nobody has an answer. I do not envy this Committee. This is because we are asking them to provide answers to questions that nobody else has. I think that should encourage them to be ingenious and to come up with things that have not been tested before. This Pandemic Response and Management Bill that they brought to this House is one such step. Allow me also to join the families and thousands of Kenyans who have been affected by this disease. As of today, the Government of Kenya has undertaken about 33,000 tests. Out of those tests, we have 715 confirmed cases and 36 deaths. My condolences go out to the families that have lost loved ones and to the families that have been affected in very many ways. There is no single family in this country or in this globe that has not been affected by COVID-19. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
