    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, while this and other policy interventions by the Government are welcome, I am of the view that a solid framework is central to improve the fight against malaria. Policy interventions on their own cannot adequately tackle the malaria scourge. It is at this juncture that I wish to examine our legal framework and the provisions on malaria. Our legal regime presently provides for a Malaria Prevention Act, Cap.246, which commenced in 1929. This enactment of Parliament on malaria was done in 1929 before we got Independence. You can realise how the colonialists were seriously concerned about malaria. But after we shook off the chains of the colonial systems in this country, we are not even concerned about malaria itself. We have never done anything about the Act on malaria. We have just left it the way it is."
