    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I will start with Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo’s question. I sympathize with the situation and I will ask the Cabinet Secretary in charge to liaise with his counterpart in the Ministry of Education to see if there is anything that can be done to alleviate the suffering by the students and to see if the bursaries can be provided to the 30, 000 students. I will pass that to the Cabinet Secretary to liaise with his counterpart. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I share the feelings of Sen. Wetangula, but I think we have been let down. That 50 years down the road after Independence and we are still grappling with diseases that could have been eliminated long ago. I know for the case of West Pokot, it was an isolated outbreak since it has not happened there in a long time. I think in this era and age, these are things that should be behind us. Therefore, I will pass the sentiments of this House to the Cabinet Secretary so that they can come up with a long and lasting solution to these outbreaks. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the question by Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale; the reason why farmers have been asked to spray their own animals is, of course, to avoid the spread of the disease. I do not think that the Government is in a position to provide the pumps and the acaricides to individual farmers because this is normally done collectively when they go to a central place. That is the dipping area. I also agree with Sen. Hargura that it is important that we make use of our locally produced acaricides by KEVEVAPI and the same will be relayed to the Cabinet Secretary. The same applies to the question by Sen. (Prof.) Lesan which was a very loaded question and maybe he should raise this as a substantive Question so that we can do a research on this and come up with a substantive answer. This is with regard to the spread of these diseases from wildlife to livestock. I think I would request him to request for a statement so that the Cabinet Secretary can give us a proper and full answer on that particular statement. Thank you.
