    "content": "We have Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). If we were to think about a select committee that needs to be formed, it would be one to deal with the SDGs, but why have we not had an SDGs select committee? Each Committee in the House addresses an area pertaining to whatever issues we have as a country. I feel that the proposed committee on COVID-19 response and management would be a duplication of what we are all doing in our respective committees. If it was not supposed to be a duplication, then we would be forced to decide that, maybe, in the Departmental Committee on Health, we should not discuss matters COVID-19 because there is a select committee. This creates some kind of confusion. Anything pertaining to the COVID-19 pandemic concerns every Member of this House. So, if we are going to form a prevention and management committee, then how will we do so and have only a few Members to make that decision? In Nairobi, we have a lot of issues and concerns. If we are going to have any response, it should involve the entire House. It cannot be a few individuals as we see here."
