"content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, if I may add, the most important duty of a Member of Parliament is to represent his people in this House. There is no taxation without representation. This is the very important job we are doing. So, they should listen! Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, under the Head I have referred to, virtually all the provision - under Item 2210300, Domestic Travel and Subsistence other Transportation Costs; Item 2210500, Printing, Advertising and Information Supplies and Services; Item 2210700, Training Expenses, among others - except for Item 2211000, Specialised Materials and Supplies, where there is a provision of Kshs234,615,000 this year, and Item 2640400, Other Current Transfers, Grants and Subsidies, and Head 3111100, Purchase of Specialised Plant, Equipment and Machinery--- This is provision for immunization. We note that, in the other Items, there is no provision for them whatsoever. The effect of this is that, in fact, there is not going to be immunization because the Ministry may run out of transport. They may not be able to print warnings or things like that. All those are not provided for except for these special materials and the other two Items. On this one also, the international concern about some of the vaccines that are in use is that, in some cases, they have been noted to have side effects. In the United Kingdom, there has been concern that a vaccine, which I cannot remember because I am not a doctor, was the sole cause of the increase in measles in that country. Is the Minister now telling us that, with this kind of provision, she is now withdrawing the Kenya Expanded Programme on Immunization?"
