    "content": "On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to request for a Ministerial Statement from the Minister for Public Health and Sanitation in respect of the Ebola Virus infection that has killed several people in Uganda. I would like her to clarify the following points:- (i) if she is aware that the disease took a mere three weeks to move from western Uganda to Kampala which is at the centre of the country and that it is quite possible that it will take a similar period, or even a shorter period, for it to come to the eastern part of Uganda and therefore, Kenya. (ii) I would like her to give the number of screening centres that have been opened at the following border points, namely Busia Town, Malaba Town, Lwakhakha Township, Chepkube, Suam, Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, Moi International Airport and Kisumu International Airport. (iii) I would like her to tell us what specific advice the Government is giving to Kenyans in regard of the following issues:- (a) travelling to Uganda; (b) shaking of hands by way of greetings; (c) hugging; (d) drinking/eating from the same containers; (e) kissing, and (f) sexual contact. Finally, I would like the Minister to clarify how the following Departments have been mobilized. That is the Department of Public Health, the Provincial Administration, the Department of Immigration and finally, welfare groups like Red Cross."
