    "content": "vaccinated against the diseases. Therefore, there are questions around the potency of the vaccines being used. (4) State why the vaccine against the foot and mouth disease is not readily available in some counties. In fact, cases of non-availability have been reported by most farmers and pastoralists and yet the disease poses a threat to livestock across all counties. (5) State what measures are in place to mitigate against the imminent economic loss to livestock keepers in the face of the outbreak. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we have parastatals like the Kenya Veterinary Vaccine Production Institute (KEVEVAPI) that are supposed to be doing this, but we do not know why this is happening. The problems in agriculture are not just locusts. We need to urgenlty deal with the issues of the foot and mouth disease that is ravaging our counties. I am aware that the Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries is going to Isiolo, Samburu and Marsabit counties. I hope this can be added on to their list of things to do so that we can be efficient in the use of resources as we deal with the locust issue. I also request to be added during the visit so that I can also deal with this matter. I sit on a board for rangelands managments in northern Kenya. This is going to be the next frontier of good security in these counties. Thank you."
