In the Statement, the Committee should address the following- (1) The current status of the cholera outbreak across the country, including a comprehensive statistical data on the prevalence of the disease detailing total number of reported cases and fatalities, if any, disaggregated by each affected county. (2) The mitigation measures being implemented to contain the cholera outbreak both in the short term and long term, including interventions by affected county governments and the Intergovernmental Committee on Health under the Ministry of Health (MoH) and the Council of Governors’ (CoG) Health Committee. (3) Availability and adequacy of essential resources to manage the cholera outbreak, particularly in informal settlements, including the supply of medicines, deployment of medical personnel and establishment of isolation and treatment centres. (4). Appraise the Senate of the current national policies and future projections aimed at ensuring universal access to clean water and proper sanitation infrastructure, which are critical in preventing the spread of cholera and other waterborne diseases, particularly in areas with inadequate sanitation.

A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate."
