    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for the opportunity. I will begin by commenting on the Statement regarding the vaccination or the much-hyped vaccination of animals. Clearly, we were dealing with something that was not ordinary. Vaccination of animals has not been a new thing in this country. Animals are vaccinated and they are usually handled by departments. A nationwide one-time vaccination of animals has never happened in this country unless where we have got quarantines and the quarantines are not new. Towns like Karatina are corruptions of the word “quarantine” because they used to be major quarantine centres. So, when we came up in this particular state, I would like the Statement to get out of where we are trying to be persuaded to go and tell us what the emergency that required the Head of State to personally take up and run with this particular vaccination programme. What were the intentions? What were the expected outcomes? It was totally out of the ordinary. We usually have periodic vaccinations with outbreaks of diseases and outbreaks. I cannot recollect a day when there was vaccination driven from the State House. That vaccination from the State House is the elephant in the room; not just the question of whether or not animals will be vaccinated. Even today, animals are being vaccinated. I also would like to support the observations by Sen. Olekina. We have very many fake products in the market. I do not know how the standardization or the inspection of these products is done, but there are many fake products and many farmers have fallen The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate."
