    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I have said a number of times that this is one Ministry that is really not performing and has let down the livestock farmers, particularly in the pastoralist areas. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, seven months before the outbreak of Rift Valley Fever last year, this Ministry was alerted and it did nothing until thousands of animals and people died. Today, animals, particularly camels, are dying in their thousands in Mandera, Wajir and Moyale. We have raised this issue on the Floor of this House several times and no action is being taken. In Mandera alone, 500 camels died in May, and this is minuted in the District Security Group (DSG) minutes of last month. Could the Assistant Minister tell this House what action his Ministry is taking to ensure that they have an early warning system such that when they detect such cases, they respond immediately instead of waiting until both livestock and human lives have been lost before they respond?"
