    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am a pastoralist. What the hon. Member has requested the Government to do is very important. On 12th March, 2009, I had an opportunity to speak to the two principals when they visited my constituency to launch Kazi kwa Vijana Programme. I mentioned that pastoralists are suffering and the AFC is harassing them. As you may have realized, pastoralists were in the process of losing their livestock. They have lost about 80 per cent of their livestock. The two principals promised that the Government was going to look into this matter. I wrote to the Minister for Agriculture requesting that since AFC is an institution and it should not lose money, the Government should bail out the farmers by paying AFC the amount of money owed by the farmers. I got a reply from the Minister for Agriculture that he was to table this request to the Cabinet. It is now about six months since that time. So, I would like this issue to be taken seriously by the Government."
