exactly what happened and the actions that were taken. We should take it as our business to look at this Report and find out what happened and what has been done. Make it a priority in terms of reallocating resources this year and the coming years. We can be a House that is basically a rubber- stamping institution.

In this country, we collect revenue of about Ksh1.7 trillion, but the budget is in the region of Ksh3 trillion. So, we budget to borrow money.

Hon. Speaker, the Chairman will get in touch with the relevant ministry to find out what can be done. You know the Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD) is one of the notifiable diseases which means it is very dangerous and spreads very fast.
