Kapoche Member of Parliament Charles Banda says two cases of cholera were speedily addressed through Public Health Specialists in Sinda District of the Eastern Province.
Mr. Banda has praised the District and Provincial Administration for instituting measures discouraging people to be at the same place in groups of more than five community members within the two constituencies of Sinda.
Mr. Banda who is also Tourism and Arts Minister has reaffirmed a need for citizens to adhere to community cleanliness tenets ascribed in 17 United Nations Development Agency (UNDP), through goal number eleven which states that Make cities &human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient& sustainable”.
He explained that the two noted Cholera cases were exported to the area by travellers from the line of rail, but the reported cases were mitigated by Eastern Province Permanent Secretary Chanda Kasolo.
Mr. Banda has however encouraged residents to keep surroundings clean as prevention of cholera was better than reliance on treatment.
