We are facing a lot of disasters in this country. Yesterday, we were talking about the locust invasion. Today, we are talking about our country’s preparedness on matters to do with the Corona Virus.

Mr. Speaker Sir, because of poor preparedness of our various calamity managing systems, people have resorted to desperate measures. Today, I heard that in some place, some elders have been mobilized to curse locusts. Soon, you will also hear that some elders somewhere have been mobilized to curse the Corona Virus. It is a great challenge to our scientific institutions to come up with proactive measures that we can easily engage in systems, so that we manage not only the Corona Virus, but also other disasters that are coming.

I also think that our research institutions are either lacking funding or some of the great researchers are sleeping on their jobs. This is because we would have expected that medical related research institutions should have come up with better approaches that our

Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is a wake-up call to all institutions in our country, ranging from research and preventive institutions, so that we may manage all these calamities in scientific ways. Otherwise, very soon we shall be looking to people like Sen. (Rev.) Waqo and myself to use spiritual approaches, which is good.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to inform my colleague that nothing comes “like that”. The Bible says that since the time of John the Baptist up to now, the Kingdom of God has suffered violence; the violent take it by force.

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity, although my Vice Chairperson has already said a lot.

Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to add my voice on this important Motion.
