WAY FORWARD
Massive recruitment is the first obvious
remedy, but then the process is so slow
that sick cows cannot wait for it.
Many people say, efforts must also be
put in training the farmers to handle
basic livestock challenges.
NAADS executive director Dr.
Samuel Mugasi says to reach a basic
optimum level, every district should
have at least 24 regular field extension
workers. With 112 districts, it means
that the country would have about
2,688 field extension workers. Since
a district has got an average six subcounties. This means each sub-county
should have at least four extension
workers, he says.
However, it should not just stop at
recruitment. The workers must be
facilitated to carry out their work.
Under the old system, there was
supposedly a vehicle for the district
NAADS coordinator and a motor
cycle for the sub-county NAADS
coordinator. The vehicles were mainly
double cabin pick-up trucks worth
about sh130m or Honda off-road bikes
worth about sh10m each.
However, you realised that the
vehicle was used by other top officers
at the district, including the chief
administrative officer (CAO) and the
LC5 chairman, says a former district
coordinator. In fact, when he refused to
hand over the vehicle to the chairman
and CAO, his job was threatened.
It is one of the reasons I was forced
to leave, he says.
