    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. My Ministry has already contained the spread of Rift Valley Fever in all the affected areas in the country including Kirinyaga District. The disease was effectively controlled by employing the following measures: Vaccinations - We used 65,000 doses of Rift Valley Fever vaccines in Kirinyaga and a total of 45,000 livestock were vaccinated. We treated animals through the system we call pour-on where we use about 432 litres of spray. We also practised quarantine from February. We lifted the quarantine in Kirinyaga on 13th April. We conducted public education. We held several meetings which were on 25th for farmers in Thiba; on 22nd for farmers in Mutithi; on 29th for farmers in Tembere and on 15th for farmers in Sagana. All these efforts, along with conversations held in boardrooms, have finally cleared the symptoms of Rift Valley Fever. Therefore, the disease no longer exists in Kirinyaga District."
