    "content": "administration is keen on. I am currently running a breed improvement programme within the ASALs to assist farmers to change their breeds. You are aware that the leather industry is a key value chain that the Kenya Kwanza Administration is working on, which is meant to improve the livelihoods of livestock keepers. Last week, I was in Isiolo, where I went to check on the progress of the construction of Isiolo Abattoir. We want to make Isiolo a hub supplying meat to the region. That abattoir is meant to serve six counties including Isiolo, Marsabit and Samburu. We want to do that in order to give support to our livestock farmers. Livestock is an area that is so dear to us as an administration. I would urge you to work with us closely. We are keen on improving our breeds, so that they can give more milk and have the ability to add more weight for purposes of us to export quality beef. We also aim to grow animal feeds to support our livestock farmers. We are supporting some of your counties through the Towards Ending Drought Emergencies (TWENDE) and drive projects that we are running for purposes of making sure that no one is left behind. Livestock keepers in this country are within our target that is so clear and intentional in changing the livelihoods of everyone from the bottom of the pyramid. I thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir."
