    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Assistant Minister very profusely for answering this Question. It is very rare in this House to get Ministers who can give such a considered comprehensive answer. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, you remember that just before we went on recess, I raised an issue about an imminent attack on pastoralists who had migrated to Uganda, and it came to pass. The Rift Valley Fever had been eradicated during the colonial government. It was not an issue until 1998/1999 during the El-Nino rains, when it resurfaced. But because the Ministry has been under- funded, including having only five veterinary officers in Turkana District; a district--- Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, my question is: Recognising that the personnel in the larger Turkana District is only limited to five veterinary officers and 11 health assistants--- We know that the establishment should be one veterinary officer per division. There are 17 divisions. Animal health assistants should be per location. There are 58 locations. When is he going to give us the numbers, given now that he is recruiting, especially the local people who can work in the local circumstances? The problem, sometimes, is that when you post people from outside the region, they tend to look for external transfers immediately."
