    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to reply. I request county governments for water supply. You cannot tell people to wash their hands and maintain high standards of hygiene, and yet, there is no water provision. There is, therefore, need to ensure that water is supplied at a very affordable cost. The other issue around this COVID-19 pandemic is reduction of corruption. For every shilling that goes into corruption, an equal number is lost in terms of service delivery to Kenyans. Our President has been categorical in terms of his wish to leave a legacy, that is, Kenya without corruption. I think whoever is dealing with that fund should live to that legacy. The other issue is around small industries. In any calamity, there is an opportunity. For example, the other week we were told that the Personal Protective Equipment (PPEs) produced by Kenyan factories, are of better quality than the imported ones. Kenyans should be applauded for that effort. In order to reward those hardworking Kenyans, there is President Uhuru’s Big Four Agenda, one of which is industrialisation. An opportunity has presented itself for us to now develop our local industries and protect them against unfair competition from cheap products from other countries that are of even low quality. Madam Temporary Speaker, this is an opportunity for our industries to grow. As a result, employment will be created for Kenyan youth who are languishing in poverty. Some of them are highly educated, but cannot support their families. 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."
