    "content": "When I look at this Vote, there is a new programme called National Livestock Development and Promotion Service (NLDPS) Board that has just been allocated a paltry Ksh50 million. This is a new board that was inaugurated four months ago and it needs to take off. Remember, livestock contributes 12 per cent to our Gross domestic product (GDP). Unfortunately, there is no seriousness in ensuring that the board takes off. What plans do they have for that board? There is no point of having a board that has been inaugurated sitting in office without doing any programme. Remember that all of us eat meat. We cannot have lunch without meat that comes from livestock. We have the Coffee Board of Kenya and the Tea Board of Kenya with billions. Why is the livestock sector not given the seriousness that it deserves? Ksh50 million is nothing. This board needs to take off so that it can be operational. I want to hear from the Chair what plans the Committee has in the subsequent budgeting process so that the board can take off to ensure that the livestock sector is well taken care of."
