"content": " Those are taskforces. They are different from an ad hoc committee. That is also already happening in Kenya. We know that the Executive has taken this matter very keenly. We have a security team which advises the President before they make any announcement on how to fight this disease. Now that it is clear from the World Health Organisation that this disease is going to be in the world for quite some time, especially when it is going to take about a year for medication or inoculation to begin, it is only fair that we allow the Departmental Committee on Health, the Committee on Delegated Legislation and any other existing Parliamentary Committee to respond to COVID-19 whenever issues arise. So far, maters have already been settled. There is no more work to be done on COVID-19. What is being looked into now is medication and prevention. We all know the protocols on how to prevent this disease. In fact, if people were obedient in the world – this is a disease of disobedience – this disease would have been crashed by now. It would have been sanitised away. It would have been masked away and no one would be sick of COVID-19. We would get rid of it as soon as possible. Again, it is about the conduct and behaviour of people in the world. It would come with one person and end with that one person. I have a lot of respect for my colleagues who are already in this Committee, my friend, Hon. Wambugu, Hon. Otiende Amollo and others. I believe they can do a good job but trust me, this one was not properly constituted. If it was, then, I would support."
