Katika Ripoti iliyotolewa leo, Wabunge wameikosoa Serikali kwa namna ilivyoshughulikia mlipuko wa CoronaVirus katika hatua za mwanzo, ikisema ilishindwa kuchukua hatua za haraka na kupelekea maambukizi na maelfu ya vifo.
Vilevile Ripoti hiyo imesema kulikuwa na nia ndogo ya kujifunza kutoka kwa Mataifa mengine hususani ya Asia ambayo yalikuwa ya kwanza kukabiliana na janga hilo. Hata hivyo, hatua ya Serikali kuzindua programu ya haraka ya utoaji chanjo kwa Wananchi imepongezwa katika Ripoti hiyo.

The British government failed to act quickly enough in its initial Covid-19 response, enabling the virus to spread rapidly through communities and resulting in thousands of deaths, lawmakers said in a damning report published Tuesday.
The report, an initial assessment by the British Parliament's Health and Social Care, and Science and Technology committees, said the United Kingdom's Covid response was slow and "reactive."
Among the biggest failures of the government's approach was an initial policy at the start of the pandemic of trying to manage the spread of Covid, rather than stop it spreading altogether, the lawmakers said.
They also criticized a delayed lockdown, failures in the UK's contact-tracing program, and a lack of attention given to the most vulnerable, specifically those in the social care sector and at-risk communities -- namely Black, Asian and other ethnic minorities. The report also said there was little interest in learning from the experiences of other countries, such as those in East Asia that were the first to deal with the pandemic.
One bright spot for the UK government, however, is the speedy and effective deployment of its vaccine program, the report highlighted.
The 150-page report is the result of a cross-party inquiry, which began in October 2020, examining the initial UK response to the pandemic. It contains 38 recommendations to the government and public bodies, and draws on evidence from more than 50 witnesses and 400 written submissions.
