    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, may I take this opportunity to thank the Chairman of the relevant Committee for bringing a comprehensive answer, although late as it had been required earlier. While appreciating this response, I am surprised to only get this very detailed narrative but without a very concrete answer as to what they have really done to eliminate the disease and to rescue the students that have just been thrown out of school for lack of fees. He eloquently and confidently mentioned here that West Pokot with a population of over 500,000 people largely depends on livestock and livestock related enterprises for their survival. Two months later, the markets have not been opened and it looks like the national Government has not moved in. They are claiming that it belongs to the county government yet in the Fourth Schedule, we know that the veterinary policy which relates to the vaccination he is talking about when a disease breaks out anywhere in Kenya, it is the national Government that steps in to see to it that the problem is rectified. The county government only deals with animal control and welfare, including licensing of dogs. I am not talking about dogs in this matter, but I am talking about the things that make the people of West Pokot become civilized Kenyans like other people who live in this country, because we depend on livestock. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wanted to know whether the national Government has sent money or vaccines and if they have already moved in to lift the quarantine which has not been addressed in this matter. They are blaming the county government and yet the county government has no money set aside for that. Their business is very simple as indicated in Schedule Four."
