    "content": "I am encouraged to note that the bulk of the hon. Members present in the House now are members of the Pastoral Parliamentary Group (PPG). Of course, we also have Mrs. Shabesh, who is a national Member of Parliament, Mr. Mureithi and a former Provincial Director of Range Management, who is the Chairman of the current Departmental Committee. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, the Minister has highlighted a number of sectors he is putting emphasis on in terms of improving them. I want to say that range management development is very critical. There is no point giving us grass. The other day, I was given 1,000 bales of hay to feed 200,000 cows. That is not being quite realistic. We should just go back and strengthen the Range Management Department, as one of the most important departments, so that our people can know how to grow, conserve and manage grass. The Minister mentioned about dipping. I agree with him. Dipping was privatised at the wrong time, because of pressure from the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF), But I must say that we also have difficulties dipping cows. How do you dip livestock without water? We must also develop our water resources."
