Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise pursuant to Standing Order No. 53 (1) to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Health regarding the outbreak of Kala-azar, also known as Visceral Leishmaniasis in Marsabit County. The outbreak has sparked serious public health concerns about Kala-azar. If left untreated or not treated properly, causes severe organ damage and is fatal in over 95 per cent of its cases. This is according to the World Health Organisation (WHO). In the Statement, the Committee should- (1) Provide details of the outbreak of Kala-azar in Marsabit County, specifying when the first case was reported, the total number of reported cases, and the affected areas. (2) Outline actions taken to control further spread of disease, including details of the medical equipment, supplies and personnel deployed in response to the outbreak, stating whether the county government of Marsabit has made a request to the national Government for additional resources and if so, whether the request has been fulfilled. (3) Disclose the budgetary allocation by the national on the county government for initiatives to address the outbreak, indicating whether the allocations are contained in the previously approved budgets or were allocated on an emergency basis. (4) Provide details on any foreign donor support received in support of the initiatives to counter the outbreak. (5) State whether there are plans to undertake fumigation in the affected areas, as it is the most effective control measures, and if so, provide a timeline for the same.
