    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I stand to support the Bill brought by Sen. Cherarkey. The objective of the Bill is very good and the Bill sorts two things at a go, that is, security and livestock keeping. On branding in Part II, pastoralists in every community have their unique branding. The Bill must be clear and perhaps introduce or amend branding to be county branding. If I am ferrying a camel from Mandera to Garissa, let it be seen that this is a camel from Mandera. So, let the branding be specific to each county. On Part III of the Bill, when it comes to the movement of livestock, we, the nomadic communities, normally move everywhere to look for pasture. The issue of permit of movement might be a challenge for nomadic people because we do not practice zero grazing. Let it be specific for the sales and slaughtering, but one should not require a permit when looking for greener pastures. Madam Temporary Speaker, the other one is on offense, in Part IV. If your animals do not have branding, that should be an offence. Perhaps, we should make it a responsibility of the counties to brand all the livestock. If livestock from Mandera County is spotted in another county and it has not been branded, Mandera County Government should be responsible for that. Madam Temporary Speaker, I support the Bill with amendments."
