    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Minister, in responding, would wish to clarify the following issues:- i. Could the Minister inform the House on the reported outbreak of cholera in the larger Turkana region, in particular, Loima, Turkana East and Turkana Central districts that has resulted in the death of over 50 people and hospitalization of another 500 people? ii. When was the first case of the outbreak reported and how many people are at risk in this epidemic? iii. What measures has the Government put in place in terms of personnel, equipment and other logistics in order to ensure that this epidemic is dealt with and when were these measures put in place? iv. Could the Minister further clarify and give a firm assurance to the House the residents, who are most at risk and the ones that are in remote, inaccessible areas, what measures he has put in place to ensure that they can be reached before they die? v. Since this is a water-borne disease, and especially the weather forecast report of last September which indicated that there will be a resurgence of water-borne diseases, particularly cholera, in Rift Valley and also in areas of North Eastern Province, what measures has the Minister taken to ensure that this situation is handled? vi. Finally, could the Minister confirm or deny, that the fact that there are two Ministries dealing with this business has actually impeded the service delivery of the Ministry of Health in containing the cholera epidemic?"
