    "content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I was not convinced by the reply from the Cabinet Secretary, Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries. It is high time the two levels of Government took the issues of farmers in this country seriously. In my Statement request, I indicated that in Githunguri Constituency, the Foot and Mouth Disease outbreak was first reported in early September 2019; last year. But in his reply, he stated that the Ministry and the county government came to know about the disease in February this year. We need to take the issues of farmers seriously. So far, in Githunguri Constituency, we have lost over 1,500 animals from Foot and Mouth Disease, translating to a loss of over 80,000 litres of milk per day by Githunguri Dairy Farmers. It is from this background that I requested the Government, through the Cabinet Secretary, to consider compensating livestock loss in Githunguri Constituency to help farmers recover the animals they had lost. Currently, we have a problem of the Lumpy Skin Disease (LSD) that is bringing a lot of loss to farmers. I want to catch your attention, Hon. Deputy Speaker."
