"content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, distribution of cheap mosquitoes nets are good policy statements, but on the ground, we have very few. I can speak for my constituency. They only come with 100 to 200 nets to give them out at Kshs50 each and then the rest are sold at Kshs1,000. As hon. Konchella has said, the issue of malaria needs to be sorted out by the Ministry. The Ministry has given the job of malaria control and prevention to the local authorities. They have been given very expensive fogging machines. I can speak about Kisumu because I was a former Mayor of Kisumu. Currently, Kisumu City Hall has a very expensive fogging machine which is not being used. Why is it not being used? Because there is no petrol and insecticide. I beg the Minister to take back those fogging machines and give them to public health officers who can deal with these issues. Many public officers have been frustrated in this country. I think it is time the Ministry took control of malaria seriously."
