    "content": "INTRODUCTION OF ANIMAL TECHNICIANS TRAINING, REGISTRATION AND LICENSING BILL THAT, in view of the fact that agriculture remains the backbone of the Kenyan economy and that the livestock subsector contributes about 13 per cent of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP); aware that following the donor-led Structural Adjustments Programme in the late 1980s the Government stopped employing trained field extension officers; further aware that the country boasts of over 6,000 trained but jobless animal technicians, noting with concern that the Government is unable to provide the livestock herders in the Arid and Semi-Arid Lands (ASALs) which hold about over 80 per cent of the livestock population with qualified staff, leaving them at the mercy of the quacks; this House grants leave for the introduction of a Bill entitled \"The Animal Technicians, Training, Registration and 2342 Licensing Bill to regulate the training, registration and licensing of animal technicians and for matters incidental thereto and connected therewith."
