    "content": "The pandemic has not only crippled the economy of Kenya, but also the economy of the world. Our businesses are dying as our people suffer, more specifically persons with disabilities. I thank the President of the Republic of Kenya for setting aside Kshs200 million to cushion vulnerable persons with disabilities. Targeting is taking place and the majority will be receiving a stipend at the end of every month to cushion them from the pandemic. That is on top of the cash transfer to severely disabled persons. This Motion is very important because this disease is very contagious. As a House, we need to allocate funds to fight it. Let us remind our people to stay safe by sanitising, keeping social distance and washing hands. Other countries have taken drastic measures. I hear in Europe it is illegal for people to move from one House to another. In our case, we are allowed to meet 15 people. So, the Mover brought a Motion that is very important. We are lucky this disease is not airborne. If it were, it would have been very dangerous to be in this building. We are lucky that the disease is not sexually transmitted. As long as one wears a mask and observes social distancing in all engagements, one is safe. It is a disease that is transmitted through contact. I support this Motion 100 per cent so that the House can be seen to be caring for its citizens. With those remarks, I support."
