    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, there is an old adage that prevention is better than cure. Literally every month, there have been many epidemics in this country. For the last three years, there has been a running epidemic of a disease called dengue fever that is spread by mosquitoes. In western Kenya, the malaria epidemic has been running from Kisii to the former Western Province for months. In other parts of this country it is cholera. Mr. Speaker, Sir, has the preventive department that deals with vector-borne communicable diseases collapsed in the Ministry? If it has not, what is exactly happening? Why are we having vectors like mosquitoes causing basic preventable communicable diseases? Where is the coordination between county governments and the Ministry of Health in preventing these diseases or has the Ministry actually abandoned medical and preventive services to counties? Counties do not have the immediate capacity to handle everything?"
