"content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we are carrying out an investigation to establish the cause of these deaths. After investigation, strong action will be taken to ensure that the deaths do not continue to occur. I want to assure this House that the numbers of deaths were not caused by jiggers. They could be, as hon. Dr. Eseli said, have been caused by other related issues. Indeed, jigger infestation is part of our PSâs performance contract and a lot of interest is being put in this area. An area we guard very closely is the HIV/AIDS transmission because of using the same pin and any other infection that can be caused by jiggers. However, I want to add that we have some supporting NGOs that are doing a very good job. I want to comment that they are doing a very good job and they are partners in this. However, in their effort to get more funding in this area, from donors, they exaggerate certain figures. So, I would like hon. Members to take that into account. I want to enlist the support of hon. Members that this has to do with personal hygiene. Let us take every opportunity in our barazas and meetings with our constituents to emphasize personal hygiene. Maybe the Ministry of Education should also add this in their curriculum."
