    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, on behalf of the Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries, I wish to table a report on a Petition to the Senate by Mr. Isaac Mwangi Mugo and Mr. Njiraini Wanjohi, seeking the recognition of graduates of Range Management Course, to treat livestock diseases and offer related extension services. This is quite an extensive report, but I need to summarize it. Yes, we received this Petition. It was referred to us and we met the petitioners who informed us that they were trained in range management, and for some period, were allowed to do extension services. Along the line, there was legislation that passed barring range management graduates from offering animal health services. There was also established a special course at the Animal Health and Industry Training Institute (AHITI) to retrain range management students, who had been barred from offering animal extension services. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we talked to AHITI and they confirmed to us that the range management graduates had done less than 200 hours in training, but the new regulation required that one had to do in excess of 600 extra hours. So, they established a course for range management students to go back to AHITI and redo the extra hours, for them to be allowed to give animal health services. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to lay the report."
