Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker, for giving me the opportunity. I also join you in welcoming the two delegations. First, the delegation of the Committee on Health and Safety from the County Assembly of Machakos. We need to inform them that at this time when we have COVID-19 pandemic, we should ensure that this country not only normalizes but we deal with the pandemic and put it behind us.

I am glad that members of the committee are here. After their benchmarking experience, I expect that we will start seeing changes in Machakos County. We have lamented before that the battle against COVID-19 has been left to the national Government when it comes to finding solutions and especially following of protocols and provision of basic care. It appears that the national Government should deal with the pandemic alone. So, I encourage all the county assemblies beginning with the county assembly that is here that we need to start seeing solutions from there.

It has culminated in the passage of the County Allocation of Revenue Bill, which county governments can now enjoy. The funds have been long awaited.

find out more and offer solutions. When we convene here next time, we will have more answers than questions. I believe it will shape our minds and debate and culminate in better and fruitful discussions. Finally, as Senators, it is important we remind ourselves that we have less than two sessions that will be useful to whatever agenda we have. After we come back, within the next one and second sessions, we will all disperse to our counties. The questions that should be lingering on our minds are what kind of a House, what kind of a legacy, what kind ...
