    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I wish to ask the following Question to the Cabinet Secretary for Health: (i) What measures has the Ministry put in place to ensure there is enhanced access to affordable, effective and timely testing for COVID-19 in the country noting that testing is one of the most effective ways of reducing the rate of infection? (ii) Could the Cabinet Secretary confirm whether the Ministry has considered cheaper and more effective alternative modes of testing for the virus given that the testing mode currently in use requires laboratories, reagents and experts and is also costly? (iii) What plans has the Ministry put in place to ensure the immediate adoption of rapid testing for COVID -19 in the country appreciating the fact that the World Health Organisation (WHO) recommends that countries use the Rapid Antigen Test to increase efficiency in testing and reduce infections? Hon. Speaker, I am asking this Question with regard to Kisumu. The issue of COVID-19 is very high."
