    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Yes, we agree that since 1985 during the World Bank and the IMF Structural Adjustment Programmes (SAPs) a number of policies that were not good for the breeding and marketing of livestock in this country were formulated. Mr. Speaker, Sir, under the proposed National Livestock Policy, which will come to this House, we will address major issues such as disease control. This is because, as a country, we cannot export our livestock products to the European markets because of issues of trade-related diseases. I want to assure the hon. Member that when we talk of improving the livestock sector, we mean the pig industry and dairy farmers in the highland regions. I can assure him that once the new National Livestock Policy comes to this House and is adopted, the issue of privatisation of cattle dips and the control of ticks would fall squarely under the Ministry of Livestock Development and the public sector. Once this is done, all those issues will be addressed."
