    "content": "The issue of standards and certification is quite an important matter to this country today. The world is becoming a global village whereby we are now becoming borderless concerning imports, exports, and competitive and comparative advantage. Countries will now have to trade. We have the slogan “let us go trade, let us go exchange goods”. Let us enjoy each competitive and comparative advantage. Setting the standards is what I would call a panacea to where we want to go. Feeds is quite an interesting matter in this country. We cannot trade if there is no regulation because we will not be able to export our beef, mutton or other agricultural products. Therefore, empowering departments in county governments by legislation is the way to go. We have had exporters trying to create quarantine centres so that they can put their animals in certified areas, but without legislation. With this legislation, a farmer in Kinangop, Kwale, or Kajiado can export their products without further certification. Therefore, I support this amendment. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker."
