"content": " I stand guided. Allow me to start afresh. I rise to request a Statement regarding the Kala-azar Virus Outbreak in Wajir County, particularly in my Constituency, Eldas and the larger Wajir West—which I had the privilege of representing. Pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 44(2) (c), I wish to request a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Health regarding the Kala- azar virus outbreak in Wajir County. The Kala-azar virus outbreak in Wajir County, which is transmitted by sand flies, has escalated into a major public health crisis posing a significant threat to lives, livelihoods and healthcare infrastructure in the region. The outbreak has exposed the vulnerability of the healthcare system, including shortage of beds, testing kits, and medical supplies in areas largely affected by this outbreak, in particular Eldas, which I represent, and Wajir West Constituencies. I also had the privilege of being a Member of Parliament for Wajir West. This has caused distress to the residents. Some of them have lost their dear ones, while others grapple with the financial burden of treatment. This virus has disrupted the daily lives of many people. They are forced to travel long distances to seek medical care. It is against this background that I request a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Health on the following— 1. A detailed report on the Kala-azar Virus outbreak in Wajir County, in particular Eldas Constituency, Wajir West Constituency and the larger Wajir County, including the number of confirmed cases, fatalities and the rate of transmission. 2. Provide a report on the emergency response measures being implemented to contain the spread of the virus, provide adequate medical treatment and prevent further infections. 3. Short-term and long-term plans the Government of Kenya is taking, in particular the National Government in coordination with the county government, because this is a disaster. This includes providing adequate financial, medical, and logistical resources and collaborations with other agencies to ensure rapid response interventions to contain the virus and prevent further transmission. Hon. Temporary Speaker, as you are aware, health is a devolved function."

It affects the different communities that live around there. We cannot afford to continue losing lives because the virus has been in Marsabit for almost one year. The earlier we take action, the better we do not lose more lives. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker and Hon. Keynan, for bringing the Statement."
