    "content": "Hon. Senators, I have a communication to make on the consideration of Sessional Papers. On Tuesday, 3rd November, 2020, the Senate Majority Leader laid on the Table of the Senate, the following documents– (i)Sessional Paper No. 2 of 2020 on the proposed Veterinary Policy. (ii)Sessional Paper No. 3 of 2020 on the proposed Livestock Policy. Hon. Senators, this is the first time that the national Executive has submitted to the Senate, policy documents that outline the Government’s long-term agenda in relation to the greater livestock agricultural sub-sector. Consideration and adoption of these two documents will ultimately lead to legislative interventions to actualize their aims and objectives, and as such, must be scrutinized carefully and reports thereon prepared and debated by the Senate. In this respect, I direct that the Sessional Paper No. 2 of 2020 on the proposed Veterinary Policy, and Sessional Paper No. 3 of 2020 on the proposed Livestock Policy be committed to the Standing Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries for consideration. I further direct the Committee to table reports on the two Sessional Papers, taking into account the views of relevant stakeholders within the next 30 days. Hon. Senators, after tabling of the reports of the Standing Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries on the two Sessional Papers, the Senate may thereafter consider, with a view to approve the same, for further action by the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
