    "content": "I urge the Committee that will look into these issues, to look at how best the national Government can support county governments with the functions of research and standards. I wish to link this to the recent Bill about extension workers. If extension workers were to be given the basic necessary knowledge, they would be able to help identify the key problems and challenges around a particular seed or crop – whether it is maize or tea – and ensure we are able to deal with whatever problem in infancy. On the issue of the cattle rustling, I have always been of the view that national Government is the primary function holder for security. However, they cannot deliver this without working in collaboration with county governments. The issues raised by the petitioner on whose behalf Sen. Seki read, is raising an issue that would be best addressed if the national and county government actors were to collaborate in order to properly investigate the issues around rampant cattle stealing and rustling in the pastoralist communities. I urge that the Senate makes effort to use the inter-governmental relations opportunities to emphasize opportunities that prevail. This should enable us to collaborate better as national and county governments for better service delivery to our people. I support."
