Mr. Speaker, Sir, you also have to make a communication on how we arrived at the proposal to have two sittings per week. We are just beginning to add the number of sitting days since the first case of COVID-19 was reported in Kenya. We were just following protocols.

Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I do not know how we got there, but mine is just to support the idea that the leadership and the Speaker of this August House cannot betray their Members.
