    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, pastoralists in Kenya have undergone extreme hardships due to the loss of their animals, yet this Government does not have provision for relief or compensation unlike in situations where certain sectors in agriculture are challenged and you see the whole Government mobilised and bringing fertilizers which is not even required. This is what I call marginalisation; it is very sad in our culture to see milk being poured down when other people are starving. I was chairman of the Kenya Co-operative Creameries (KCC) for two years, when it was put under a Commission 20 years ago, with Mr. Andrew Ligale as one of my board members; he was then the Permanent Secretary for Co-operatives. The Government put KCC under a Commission and we turned it round; we were collecting 1.1 million litres of milk per day, and that was 20 years ago. What has happened? How sad?"
