Speaker, as I second, this Motion is very important. But I would like to thank you and sincerely say that you are a true Leader and a true Speaker of the august House.

• 30 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: are people who the word “lockdown” means the end of their livelihood. These are the people in the service industry, transport industry, taxi drivers, matatu drivers, conductors, waiters and waitresses of restaurants and small kiosks that feed many Kenyans in the slums and villages who depend on a day-to-day earning.
