Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for that correction. That is breaking the law and the Senate will not support it. Mr. Speaker, Sir, Members of the Standing Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries were disappointed. We were here at 8.00 a.m. to listen to what hon. Munya was going to tell Kenyans through the Committee that had summoned him because we have the power to summon or invite him. We will not invite him again but we request you to summon him so that he appears before the Committee. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am worried because one of the pillars ...

support my colleagues that the CS should be summoned to appear before the Committee tomorrow to answer the questions. I am worried that the locusts will spread to Kakamega County. This is because I depend on food, mostly ugali to be specific. If there is no ugali, I am done. Therefore, the CS should come here tomorrow very early in the morning to give us the answers. I will be waiting for him here.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I join my colleagues in supporting this Statement. I want to start by saying that Corona Virus is a severe pulmonary infection. The signs include fever, sepsis, shock, failure of the kidney, among others. It causes death as we have witnessed. The statistics indicate that so far we have 73,336 people infected and the number is still rising. Out of that, only 13 have recovered. That means that only seven per cent of the population has recovered. It is a disease that we really need to curb. Mr. Speaker, Sir, as my colleagues have said, our borders ...

We only have a few people who have expressed themselves. We need to look at Kenyans as human beings. Uganda and other countries are prepared. I am worried because of what we are seeing. It will take us a step back now that we have the locust invasion and the issue of Corona Virus also exists. It is only that we have not had any case, but our people are at risk out there. There are other ways of people coming to Kenya. It does not require one to take a flight from China to Kenya, so as to be ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, he seems to be pretending. He knows very well that there are many ways that somebody can use to come into Kenya. It is not only through the airport.

Yes. Even before the outbreak of Corona Virus, we had people coming from China.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, they are just going round because they know what I am saying very well. I would like my colleagues to know that it is not only by taking a flight to Kenya that the disease can get here. You cannot only be detected when you have used a flight from China to Kenya because there are so many ways of coming. I can go to London from China and then come here. We just need to be vigilant.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to support the Statement by Sen. Kwamboka. I support it because when you are still living in this world, you cannot swear not to visit a prison, a mortuary or a hospital. As human beings, we need to focus on the health concerns or environment of these facilities. There is overcrowding in these facilities and the conditions are deplorable. Mind you, this is where human beings are kept. They are our children, brothers and sisters. As my sister has said, there is need for responsible institutions to look into the ...
