MAZABUKA Central Member of Parliament Garry Nkombo will today ask Health Minister Chitalu Chilufya why Government has started using insecticides containing Dichloro-Diphenyl-Trichloroethane (DDT), a banned substance, in the malaria control programme.
According to today’s order paper, Mr. Nkombo will also ask Dr. Chilufya what urgent measures are being taken to stop the use of insecticides containing DDT.
He will also ask why other insecticides, which are not harmful to humans and livestock, were not considered for use in place of the ones containing DDT.
