The Speaker of Parliament Rebecca Kadaga has proposed that the money being used to buy mosquitoes nets be channelled to residual spraying of malaria causing mosquitoes as away to eradicate malaria in the country.

Kadaga was speaking during a breakfast meeting that was organized by civil society organizations and parliament to make an input in a document regarding access to health as a basic right.

The document will be discussed by world parliaments under the inter parliamentary union when they meet in Uganda in 2012.

Kadaga says spraying to kill mosquitoes should be one of the issues that would be considered in this meeting.

She has pledged to spear head the campaign as malaria is one of the killer diseases of women and children in Uganda.

Kadaga adds that the issue of road infrastructure should also be addressed especially in rural areas to enable people access health centers.

She says although the health centers have been put in place but many patients’ especially pregnant mothers and children cannot access them.
