    "content": "Hon. Deputy Speaker, I would like to thank hon. Serem for bringing this Statement to the Floor. I also want to thank you for giving it the priority that it deserves. I would like to appreciate other hon. Members who have spoken. Ebola, which most of my community members cannot pronounce because we will say “ Embola ” is a dangerous disease. What we need to know now is not statements. What we need is not to be told about what is going to happen next week. The country is waiting to hear what is going to happen now. I would like to say that this morning, as a Parliamentary Committee in charge of health, we had a lengthy discussion on this matter and we agreed that KQ should not be flying to countries that are affected because we are exposing Kenyans. We are exposing our own health staff and so I would like to agree with other hon. Members that this is a matter that should be discussed widely. I would also like to say that the Statement has additional clarifications that have been sought and we are going to work on them. I know this is work in progress and so I would like to give commitment of giving a response by Tuesday next week. Even as we wait for the Statement, we need an Executive decision that if other countries have decided to suspend their flights to countries that are affected, we also do so. So, I commit that the Committee will give a proper Statement on Tuesday. But as I say that, I am also looking forward, as a Member of Parliament and as a Kenyan to an Executive order that we stop flying to countries that are affected."
