    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) A total of 245 cases of bites have been reported in Voi resulting into one death. The figures are as follows: Wundanyi, 76 bites and no deaths; Mwatate, 67 bites; Voi 94 deaths; Tansa, 11 deaths; Mwambirwa, 6 bites; and Voi 110 bites. (b) My Ministry has taken the following step to provide vaccines and control further spread of diseases: Supply of anti-rabies vaccines to help facilities to administer to those bitten by animals suspected to be having rabies. My Ministry has already placed an order for procuring more anti-rabies vaccines, since there has been some shortage countrywide. My Ministry is liaising with the Ministry of Livestock Development to bait and eliminate stray dogs and other animals likely to spread the diseases. Members of the public are continuously being provided with education through public barazas and other avenues on how to identify suspected rabied animals and the need for strong health seeking behaviour when one is bitten by any animal. My Ministry is currently liaising with the Ministry of Livestock Development to carry out vaccination of domestic animals in affected areas."
