• 5 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The only guarantee we can give, as a Ministry, is that you had better work with veterinary officers; the experts, who are on the ground, to April 5, 2007 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 423 advise and show you the proper way of mixing the acaricides.

• 5 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have no control over Uganda, Tanzania or any other neighbouring country. We have control over our country. That is why we are carrying out the exercise within the Republic of Kenya. view
• 5 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I have already answered Mr. Lesrima's question by saying that we chose Chemolingot as the starting point because of the recommendations made by the veterinary officer to the effect that foot and mouth disease and other diseases were rampant in that area. view
