    "content": "However, there is no good water for human consumption. Where the people fetch water is sort of like hole where wild animals come in to drink water and pee in. One of the many common diseases in that area is cancer which is very dangerous. The role the county governments is given in this Bill is critical. I urge the Cabinet Secretary when developing regulations on implementation of this Bill to enhance the critical role of county governments as envisaged in this Bill. Madam Temporary Speaker, it is also important to ensure there is a traceability element in our animal feeds and food to ensure accountability. I keep saying we are 47 counties. We can benefit from each other. We do not need this World Bank and International Monetary Fund (IMF). We can trade among ourselves. For example, what can Kirinyaga County provide us in Narok? What can Narok County provide to other counties? We can work together and trade amongst each other. If I go to Kirinyaga County and buy animal feeds, I come and feed my cows and they get sick, I can trace it. It is important to enhance the traceability element in this Bill. I hope that when developing regulations, we will be very clear in terms of the traceability. Risk assessment, regulatory standards, inspections, monitoring and traceability are very important. We have talked about the issue of exporting our products. We should not only be concerned EU standards where we are talking about exporting products outside the country, but we should also be concerned about me exporting my products from Narok to Machakos County. The standards must be the same."
