Sen. Kittony Mr. Speaker, Sir, I remember very well giving the answer to the House before we went on recess. I think the Senator was not in at that time.

Sen. Kittony Mr. Speaker, Sir, it was before we went on recess. If we check in the HANSARD, I am sure that we will get the exact date. At around that time, she was busy making arrangements for her wedding. So, she is excused.

Sen. Kittony Mr. Speaker, Sir, he mentioned Malaria outbreak so naturally I had to respond. If he does not want to have Malaria included, let him bring a new statement as we wait for Sen. Khaniri. (Laugher)

Sen. Kittony Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am ready for the statement sought by Sen. Khaniri. What Sen. (Dr.) Machage is asking is a new statement.

Sen. Kittony Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to respond to the Statement on Malaria outbreak in Western Kenya. The statement was requested by Sen. Khaniri from Vihiga County on 1st July, 2015. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Senator sought to know the following:- July 16th, 2015 SENATE DEBATES

Sen. Kittony Mr. Speaker, Sir, may I proceed.

Sen. Kittony Mr. Speaker, Sir, Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale is a doctor and I am not. I am just a Vice Chairperson of that Committee. I am reading what the Ministry gave me. He cannot make me a “Dr. Kittony” overnight.

Sen. Kittony Mr. Speaker, Sir, the statement is very clear that the Ministry of Health is aware of the reported Malaria outbreak in the county of Vihiga. I do not know what the Senator for Vihiga County is asking, yet it is very clear that the Ministry is aware and...

It could not be available today because they are engaged in performance contracting exercise. Therefore, they were not in a position to prepare this Statement but they...

Sen. Kittony The Ministry begged for indulgence and it should not be blamed on the Jubilee Government; anybody can be engaged. I think the Senator for Vihiga should be understanding.

Sen. Kittony I am equally disturbed because he is supposed to be in Amani Coalition with me, so I do not know why he is blaming the Jubilee Government. (Laughter)

Sen. Kittony I have taken note and as I said, we will issue the Statement on Thursday this week.
