    "content": "One element that I want people to appreciate is that health sanitation plays a major role in preventing many diseases that may occur. Currently, we have floods in this country and the next thing that you will hear of is epidemics. Many people will perish in peripheral areas. We have heard of floods in Turkana, Wajir, Marsabit, Kisii and even Nairobi. The only way of keeping pace with issues happening at the rural level, urban and peri-urban centres is by having community workers who can do surveillance. Without surveillance, it will be very difficult to keep pace. We are talking of a person who is a jack of all trades. He should be able to do surveillance when we have catastrophe like the floods that are happening around us now. They should be able to monitor for the outbreak of cholera and mosquitoes. There was a time when highland mosquitoes ravaged most of the people who were in non-endemic malarial areas. People died by scores until we realised what needed to be done. They were given mosquito treated nets for them to survive and stay in that place. There is another category, the birth attendants. Those are community workers. Women are delivering in very dangerous circumstantial areas. At most, we have these birth attendants who are properly trained to do critical measurements, particularly in The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
