There is so much money that has been mentioned, especially the Kshs40 billion that the Cabinet Secretary said has been spent. We need to know exactly how this money has been spent.

Who suggested that money be collected from ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir allow me to join you in welcoming the students from Bungoma County. They are our neighbors because I come from Kakamega County. I am encouraged because we look up to girls schools.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I will not read it. However, I need to get my points right. From the Statement, Sen. Olekina has said that it is with interest that if Kenya has allowed the China Southern West Airlines to land on our soil with the 239 passengers on board, I am wondering whether the passengers who arrived in the flight were screened. Are we serious when there were officers who were manning the port health that falls strictly under the Ministry of Health? They stated that the people who came should be self-quarantined.
