    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I would not want to complain. If I do, I can even sleep without food. Hon. Temporary Speaker, since Independence, we have had three critical goals: To reduce poverty, ignorance and diseases. Whether we have achieved that up to now is subject to debate and research. Subsequently, the United Nations Assembly resolutions concerning poverty and the rest have always included the issue of health and, more so, the reduction of mortalities, infections and communicable diseases. COVID-19 jolted the slumber that many of us had about pandemics and epidemics. Medics know the difference. Sustainable Development Goal No.3 calls for good health and well-being. Good health and well-being start with the primary foot soldiers. Those of us who have been around for some time remember the mid-1970s or early 1980s on the issue of Bora Afya . They still remain to date. They played a critical role. They ensured all homesteads had pit latrines. That was to reduce open-air defecation that was polluting rivers. They ensured that all the rubbish, even the smallest urban trading centres, was always collected and burned. They believed that prevention, as we always said, is better than cure. Hon. Temporary Speaker, let me laud my friend, neighbour and desk mate, so to speak,"
