    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, just to mention one very important thing, so that I can rest my case, as the Minister said, institutions like KEMRI do research indoors. Even NGOs like CARE International and ICIPE treat malaria, but very little is done on control of mosquitoes, which are the careers of this disease. Mosquitoes breed on still water in cans, ponds, et cetera. We are now starting irrigation schemes under the Economic Stimulus Programme. We have fish ponds and irrigation schemes mushrooming in various locations of this country. If the Ministry does not accept to carry on with us on the measures contained in this Bill and ensure that something is done, we will be waiting for a disaster to happen in this country. We are creating so many places for mosquitoes to breed. When mosquitoes breed all over the country, they will transmit malaria in every corner of the country. I am happy that the Minister has said we are going to meet on Thursday, with some experts and the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Health, who is a very strong supporter of this Bill. On that day, we will correct anything that does not appear to be right. I am, otherwise, very encouraged by the support that this Bill received from hon. Members. With those few remarks, I beg to move."
