    "content": "I would like the Kenyan Government to take the example of the Ugandan Government. The Uganda Government has set up a factory where it is producing its own malaria drugs. There is no reason why Kenya cannot go the same way, instead of waiting for the expensive imported drugs. The Government should take up the example of Uganda, set up a factory in Kenya where we can produce our own malaria medicine, so that it is affordable to the Kenyan person. The last thing that this Bill should address is climate change. As my colleagues have alluded, it is true that malaria has increased because of climate change. What we see are floods and drought. However, what we fail to see are the effects of the flooding. There is an increase in malaria but because our people will not get the connection, they will not realize that the reason why they are getting more bouts of malaria is because of the climate change, flooding and the seasonal changes that are happening in this country. So, this Bill must address the issue of climate change. There is no way we can assume that one region is the one which is at risk of getting malaria. Due to climate change, every region in this country is susceptible to getting malaria. So, we are speaking about making sure that the issue of climate change is taken care of."
