    "content": "Hon. Members, I rise to ask you to attend a half-day seminar aimed at appraising and sensitising all hon. Members on the Tuberculosis (TB) epidemic in the country. Kenya is ranked position 13 amongst the 22 high TB-burdened countries in the world that contribute 80 per cent of global TB cases. At the national level, the cases of TB have risen by an alarming rate of over 1,000 per cent between 1987 and 2007 resulting in 70 deaths daily. Hon. Members can all play an important role in the advocacy for TB as an inseparable part of your political agenda especially by motivating the members of the public and your constituents with signs and symptoms of TB to seek early medical attention. It is on this backdrop that you are all invited to a half-day sensitization seminar organised by the Ministry of Public Health and Sanitation in conjunction with the appropriate Departmental Committee on Health, Housing, Labour and Social Welfare. The seminar will be held tomorrow, Thursday, October 30th, 2008, at the Hilton Hotel, Tsavo Room, from 9.00 a.m. in the morning to 12.30 p.m. All hon. Members are requested to attend this very important seminar."
