    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I talked about the documents including the Malaria Policy which maybe the Minister will address in the course of time; I realize they already have a formula by which they want to address the whole issue. In conclusion, I would like to ask the Mover of this Motion to seriously consider-- - The Kenya Medical Research Institute (KEMRI) is the biggest research institution into malaria globally. Everybody comes here. I would ask KEMRI to put up a research centre in Kerio Valley and Narok. This is what I would like the hon. Member and the Minister to do. Let us have a research station by KEMRI at Kerio Valley to address the concern of the hon. Member. We should convince him to allow the Minister to take over this Bill. With 22 Acts of Parliament which date back to the colonial days, it is high time the Ministry consolidates all these documents into one Bill, which will address all these issues, including the concerns in this Bill, which the hon. Member has put forward. I would also like the Ministry to do further co-ordination in the management and control of malaria. While local authorities are able to manage the spread of mosquitoes and spraying of stagnant water to kill the larvae, I think the Ministry needs to co-ordinate and lead the process. I think to create another institution when we have so many institutions will be unnecessary. This is a good Bill. However, I think the Ministry should, therefore, lead the way by consolidating the Act and bringing on board what the hon. Member has said."
