    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me this opportunity to contribute and support this very important Bill which has been brought by Mr. Kaino. I want to state that Article 10 should not be here because we want to be here to represent the entire Republic of Kenya and work out ways and modalities to do that. If there is an institution to be established, we do not give reference and priorities to the areas where we come from. I would have preferred if Mr. Kaino would have said that this institution should be based in one of the corners in this country. Whether this institution is in Kisumu, Coast Province or North Eastern Province, at the end of the day it serves Kenyans. The continent of Africa and not only Kenya, has a very bad face when it comes to diseases. In my travelling due to my businesses, I asked a friend if he would like to come to Kenya and enjoy the facilities and the tourist destinations in the country, but he wondered about the malaria disease in Kenya. As you know, in the United States of America (USA), they are not experts in the treatment of malaria. If someone is infected with malaria here and travels to Europe chances are that he or she would not survive. In fact, we have better treatment of malaria in this country than in the USA and other development countries. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I totally agree with those who spoke before me. As we try to establish an institution that can provide prevention, and we all believe that prevention is better than cure, we also need to be adequately and fully equipped for the treatment of malaria. The people who are affected and suffer from malaria are the poor people. Up today, the villages, where we come from, we have a big population of citizens who do not even know that there is a dose for malaria that costs Kshs150. So, they get infected, affected and they die. Therefore, the institution is very important. However, as we deal with it, let us also find ways and means---"
