    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I want to contribute to the Statement by Sen. Catherine Mumma on the spread of cholera across the country. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, by 6th April this year, there have been 97 confirmed cases of cholera with six fatalities. Twelve of these cases are from Nairobi. The cases spread across all our sub-counties; Kasarani, Embakasi East, Embakasi Central, Kibra and Dagoretti South. Cholera is a condition that makes one dehydrated very fast. It causes death quickly. It is paramount that the Ministry of Health makes very quick response to protect the lives of our people. We need them to give us the latest data so far, because if you search, the latest data was on 5th April and that is over a month ago. We need to know the measures they are taking to make sure that these outbreaks of cholera are not recurrent. As you can see, the counties in question are the usual suspects, with Nairobi having recurrent outbreaks. Every time there is an issue, Nairobi is always featuring. We would like to know what the Ministry is doing to ensure that cholera outbreaks are a thing of the past. We need to know what they are doing about sanitisation and cleanliness in common areas and in our informal settlements, because we know it spreads very fast on contact. What are they doing about the people who have been in close contact with the ones who are already infected? Also, what are they doing to make sure information is out there that we have cholera? What sensitization are they doing to the citizens? Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir."
