    "content": "We must try alternative approaches to help people improve our livelihoods. The livestock breed can be improved and irrigation can be undertaken. There are many options that are available, but the seriousness of the Government has not been obtained to date. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, going back to the response of the Ministry of Livestock Development, the Kshs500 million which they now call a soft loan, which they had planned for livestock off take strategy, has not been of any use to the people in northern Kenya. That money should have been channeled through the Arid Lands Resource Management Project if this Government was serious enough. They were not serious because they have not thought about it carefully. You talk about livestock off take and you give it to the AFC. Does that help the people? The AFC is just giving loans. What our people need there is not loans. They need money directly injected into the economy, so that they are able to fund even their boreholes. As I speak, people are not able to pay for the fuel which they used to water their livestock and for domestic use. It is a shame on this Government to have kept these loans. Let them know today and many other days to come that the people are alert. Days of political hoodwinking are gone. We are watching to see the next days ahead. Thank you, very much."
