    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for allowing me to respond. I wish to thank all my colleagues who contributed to this very important Bill. I would also like to thank the Assistant Minister who has just responded on behalf of the Ministry on this very important Bill. The principle objective of this Bill has been captured by the Members who contributed on the debate. They all touched on malaria as a very serious killer disease in this country. It requires a lot of attention from all Kenyans to see that malaria is controlled. Many hon. Members have contributed in support of this Bill. I am actually encouraged that the Members know exactly that this disease is something that we need to focus on. The Assistant Minister has correctly stated that KEMRI is in Kisumu and other areas where malaria is epidemic. At the moment, malaria is almost all over Kenya. Malaria is already in areas where it never used to be. Hospital beds are almost half full because of malaria related cases. Mine was just to direct the Government that this is a very serious disease and we should not even mix it with other vectable diseases. You can fail to get other vectable diseases in some areas but get malaria. It is very important to control malaria because it has affected our people. We have lost many women and children and a lot of money has been spent in the treatment of malaria. As far as the location of the institute is concerned, Kerio Valley is not in Uganda or Tanzania. It is in Kenya like any other place. Today, a student from Kisii takes a diploma in nursing at the Lodwar School of Nursing. There is nothing wrong in locating any institution to any part of this country."
