(Ms.) Nasri Ibrahim","speaker":{"id":13173,"legal_name":"Nasri Sahal Ibrahim","slug":"nasri-sahal-ibrahim"},"content":"There is need for the Government to move with speed amidst reports of the challenges of access to screening agents. There is need to identify high-risk exposure areas and hence COVID- 19 treatment and management. Hon. Speaker, the export sector is reportedly the hardest hit by COVID-19. The proposed intervention under the post-COVID-19 economic stimulus programme is aimed at cushioning the sector through providing support for renovation of hotels through Tourism Finance Corporation, prioritising tourism through aggressive post-COVID-19 marketing, providing support to the Kenya Wildlife Service to engage 5,500 community scouts for a period of one year and cushioning horticultural producers to access international markets. As a country, there is need to aggressively diversify, add value and market our export goods in order to mitigate trade deficit. Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I support."}
