    "content": "County are concerned that the testing of the truck drivers takes a long duration due to shortage of medical personnel, therefore, creating a serious traffic gridlock. Hon. Speaker, it is against this background that I seek a statement from the Chairperson, Departmental Committee on Health to address the following: (i) Could the Ministry consider deployment of more laboratory technologists at the Malaba and Busia Border to ease the backlog of truck driver awaiting COVID–19 testing? (ii) Could the Ministry further consider providing adequate reagents for laboratories in Busia, Kenya Medical Research Institute, Kisumu and Alupe, Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital and Busia County Referral Hospital? (iii) What measures are being undertaken by the Government to reduce the risk truck drivers and turn boys pose to the people of Busia County due to long delays experienced during testing? (iv) What measures has the Government put in place to ensure that the long trailers are fumigated and sanitized? (v) What measures has the Government put in place to ensure that the truck drivers get the COVID-19 tests done from Mariakani in Mombasa before departure so as to weed out those without papers on time?"
