    "content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. Pursuant to Standing Order No. 44(2) (c), I request for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning regarding curfew and inter- county cessation of movement or partial lockdown in the country. Certain regions among them Nairobi, Mombasa, Kilifi and Kwale have not only been put under curfew, but also under cessation of movement. The people in the coastal counties are bearing more economic and life disruptions than any other parts of the country and therefore require more relief interventions. It is against this backdrop that I seek a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning on the following: (i) What measures has the relevant ministry put in place to mitigate against the economic disruptions caused by the curfew and cessation in Kilifi County? (ii) What relief food programme has the Government put in place to ensure that the people of Kilifi do not starve to death? (iii) What special assistance has the national Government put in place to cushion the County Government of Kilifi in managing medical supplies and personnel? (iv) What special programme has the national Government put in place to cushion workers who are laid off in the tourism and hotel industry in Kilifi County? (v) How much money was allocated to the County Government of Kilifi for the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic?"
