    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to seek a Statement from the Chairperson of the Standing Committee on Agriculture, Land and Natural Resources. The Statement relates to the outbreak of foot and mouth disease in West Pokot on 31st December, 2013; bearing in mind that the county’s mainstay is livestock keeping. I would like the chairperson to confirm whether he is aware that following the confirmation of the outbreak, all livestock markets in the county were closed on 13th January, 2014 and have not been re-opened. Secondly, he should explain what plans the relevant Government department has to contain the disease and assist the affected residents who cannot even pay fees for their children since they depend on the sale of livestock. Thirdly, state whether the Government will assist the over 30,000 students from the county, many of whom have been suspended from schools, colleges and universities for failing to settle school fees. Thank you."
