"content": "We are also intervening in the livestock sector by making sure that we have a livestock vaccination programme. The National Livestock Vaccination Programme is mainly aimed at preventing trans-boundary diseases like foot and mouth, and the ones that are affecting the small ruminants. We are making sure that we vaccinate all our animals. In the past, counties have tried to vaccinate the animals, but that has not been effective because one county vaccinates while the other one does not vaccinate. That does not solve the disease issue. There has been an issue about this particular intervention. Hon. Deputy Speaker, I can inform this House that we are using local vaccines that are manufactured by our local institution called Kenya Veterinary Vaccine Institute (KEVEVAPI). Therefore, we are not importing any vaccines. We are using local vaccines. I would like to invite Hon. Members who are interested. We can facilitate you to go to KEVEVAPI to see how those vaccines are being made. They are not coming from outside the country and they are not controversial. We have been using KEVEVAPI to export the vaccines. For the families which lost livestock during the last drought, we are also doing a livestock re-stocking programme to make sure that they get their livestock, mainly goats, back. We are targeting about 16 counties. There is also a duty waiver on importation of raw materials for processing animal feeds. We know that animal feeds have one of the greatest costs in this country. We are deliberately allowing manufacturers of animal feeds some duty waivers on some particular ingredients like enzymes, amino acids and protein concentrates, so that they can lower the overall cost of animal feeds in the country. Those are some of the key measures that we are taking to make sure that we lower the cost of agriculture for those who are in it. Thank you."

You import milk coolers, but I have gone around and noticed that the people who are supposed to use them do not know how to use them! What technical programmes are you forwarding to the farmers? Importation and exportation of milk is very important. I want to inform the Cabinet Secretary that I had a chance to go to the Middle East sometime back. During breakfast, I realised that"

"content": "the milk there was from this country. Today, when you go to the Middle East, you will find that the milk there is from Uganda and not Kenya. What are you doing about it? We want to increase milk exports, but the programme is not clear. You are now bringing in the milk coolers. What technical programmes have been put in place to guarantee their success? I understand that around 300 coolers are being imported, but I am not sure of the programmes you have put in place. You need to work on that."

Livestock farmers, especially those from Northern Kenya, are facing imminent drought. What is the Ministry planning to do, considering that we are expected to have failed short-rains, and our animals may die because of the drought? Instead of zeroing in so much on agricultural issues, the Cabinet Secretary should have given us a bit of history on livestock. What is the Ministry’s budget allocation for pastoral communities in northern Kenya?"
