Madam Temporary Speaker, I thank both Sen. (Dr.) Ochillo- Ayacko and Sen. Sakaja. That said, we confronted CS in the Ministry of Health when he appeared before our Committee of Information and Technology and he said that nobody will be barred from coming to Nairobi. The CS, hon. Kagwe said that all he wanted to do is make sure that the counties are taking the COVID pandemic seriously. Forget Nairobi, as much as most Governors are saying that they are ready in the counties, Isiolo County for instance takes many of its patients to Tharaka Nithi and Meru Counties for ...

I congratulate all Kenyans for the efforts they have made in the fight against COVID-19. We should all do whatever it takes to maintain the low status of the COVID- 19.

Madam Temporary Speaker, we need to pat ourselves on the back and not just concentrate on the negatives. Our Committee will look at this report from “TheEconomist” and analyze what it is that ...

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I will be brief. If e- learning, as Sen. Sakaja has said, is a myth even for the well to do schools, you can imagine schools in northern Kenya, like those in Isiolo County. As it were, we have rudimentary education, health and energy systems in place that are not supporting any form of education. I would like to congratulate teachers and parents of Isiolo County who came together and decided to reorganise themselves and do radio learning at least to help children not forget schools, if nothing else. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, if ...
