    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, on behalf of the Minister for Livestock and Fisheries Development, I be to reply. (a) Communal cattle dips in the country were privatised in 1991. This move effectively passed over ownership and management of the facilities to the communities. Since then, it has been the responsibility of farmers in the country to run and maintain these dips through elected dip management committees. However, the Government has continued to give assistance to communal dips by training farmers on basic dip management practices, tick and tsetse control methodologies, and also by ensuring that only effective acaricides are sold to them. May I also urge the hon. Members to support the revival of dips through the now improved CDF and LATF. (b) My Ministry is undertaking a countrywide survey to compile comprehensive data to identify key factors which led to the collapse of dips, and also identify key areas that are in dire need of dipping services. The survey will also guide the Ministry on the review of the current policy of privatisation. Therefore, owing to the policy in place, the Government has not earmarked any money this financial year for dip rehabilitation anywhere in the country, including Teso District."
