    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to seek a Ministerial Statement from the Minister for Livestock and Fisheries Development. Although he is not here, I believe his colleagues will take note on his behalf. Since January, 2007, hundreds of animals, particularly camels, have died in Mandera District. These animals die from an acute fatal disease which is yet to be identified by the veterinary department in the district. The Chair will recall that area has just recovered from an outbreak of Rift Valley Fever (RVF) which killed thousands of livestock. Several weeks ago, I understand blood samples were taken to Animal Health and Industry Training Institute (AHITI), Kabete, for testing, but to date, there is no response. Many camels are dying in their hundreds. Could he investigate and report to this House the circumstances surrounding the mysterious deaths of these camels? He should also inform the House the measures the Ministry is taking to contain the epidemic."
