    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we have put a lot of effort in this area. I personally went to launch the spraying in Rachuonyo with the hon. Member for the area. My officers in that area really put a lot of effort and money into the exercise because those are the most difficult areas. We will step up the exercise as much as we can. As far as the clinics are concerned, we are now allowed to employ new nurses and other health officers. We will try and step up and open as many facilities as possible. The hon. Member must make sure that the nurses employed in his district do not get transfers and go elsewhere; we are working on that. There is a discussion going on, but I do not know how it will go. Many countries in this region have actually switched to spraying DDT. It is something that we are looking into for public health only, and not for food and horticultural farms. South Africa, Tanzania and Uganda are using the DDT. In fact, we are the only country which is not using DDT. Swaziland has eradicated malaria through use of DDT. This is something I have discussed with the Minister for Agriculture. I hope that we will be able to come to a good decision, because many countries which have eradicated malaria, or mosquitoes, have used DDT for public health but not for agriculture."
