    "content": "Hon. Members, you recall that on Tuesday 24thMarch, 2015, hon. Stephen Mutinda Mule drew the attention of the House to the International Tuberculosis Day, which is marked on 24th March every year. In his Statement, hon. Mule not only informed the Members of the Barcelona Declaration that established a new Global Parliamentary Caucus on Tuberculosis, but also urged them to sign the declaration in demonstration of their support to the global agenda of eliminating tuberculosis. To this end, 133 Members have signed the Declaration and expressed the desire to be part of the combined commitment in lowering and ultimately eliminating tuberculosis in Kenya, Africa region and the world over. Hon. Members, these Members will be engaged in pressing for a more effective response to the tuberculosis epidemic, and partner with inter-governmental and non- governmental health organisations such as the World Health Organisation and the Stop TB Partnership in combating the disease. In addition, the Members shall also endeavor to mobilise both local and global support against tuberculosis, and advocate for enhancement of budgetary allocation towards securing an end to the tuberculosis epidemic. Hon. Members, while lauding this noble move, I wish the Members who have agreed to be part of the Global Parliamentary Caucus on Tuberculosis success in the compassionate journey of turning the tide against the devastating disease, which accounts for approximately 1.5 million deaths annually."
