"content": "It is a shame that malaria has continued do to harm the economies of our countries in Africa, and Kenya in particular. As has been stated by previous speakers, so many lives are lost every day, because of malaria. Historically, this disease has killed millions and millions of Kenyans, not to mention the negative economic impact that malaria has in our country. Every day, you have people who cannot go to work because they are suffering from malaria. Therefore, we lose very many man hours and unproductive days because of this terrible disease. Apart from that, travel advisories are being given every now and then by the developed countries that people should not visit Kenya because it has malaria. Therefore, the growth of tourism is also hampered by the presence of malaria in our country. So, there is so much negative economic impact caused by malaria apart from the many deaths. So, there is need for us to consider measures that can reduce this disease. Therefore, I wholly support the establishment of an institute that will be charged with the responsibility of research and advising us on how to fight this disease."
