"content": "I urge the Ministry of Livestock Development to think about market access by our people. Up to now we do not have any formal market for the livestock in this nation. We take our livestock to Kariobangi and Dandora in a very informal setting that is controlled by brokers. This cannot make our people have a good living out of this sector which is their lifeline. I urge the Ministry to think seriously about market access. It boggles my mind that Ethiopians are able to export their animals to Yemen and Saudi Arabia. This is the case and yet our animals cross the porous borders of northern Kenya and are bought by Ethiopians who sell them in Yemen. In Kenya, we are said to be within a disease zone and as such we are unable to access those markets. Something is fundamentally wrong in terms of policy. I hope that the Ministry will see to it that we access the lucrative markets in the Middle East."
