    "content": "Hon. Deputy Speaker. Pursuant to Standing Order No. 44(2)(c ), I wish to request a Statement from the Chairperson of Departmental Committee on Health regarding the preparedness of this country in dealing with Ebola Virus disease outbreak. In the recent past, there has been a serious outbreak of the virus in parts of West Africa, which has resulted in the deaths of over 1000 people. There is a need to protect our citizens from this deadly disease, which is easily and quickly spread. There is, therefore, a need to ensure that full safety measures are implemented by all relevant stakeholders in this country. In the Statement, the Chairperson should inquire into and report on comprehensive measures the Government is taking to safeguard health and the life of Kenyans from this disease. Two, the state of preparedness of relevant institutions in case of an outbreak in this country. Three, whether there is any plan by Government to reduce, or suspend, Kenya Airways flights to and from West Africa to diminish chances of spreading the diseases."
