    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I totally agree with the Member that there was a lot of misallocation of funds. I can give an example where District Agricultural Officers in Mandera, Marsabit and Moyale districts have more allocations than their counterparts; District Veterinary Officers or District Livestock Officers in the same areas. These are areas where there is no crop production. So, that kind of inappropriate misallocations where Government funds were being taken to where there is no crop production will be addressed. As a Ministry, we have developed policies to address that issue. Secondly, Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to assure Members from the northern region and pastoralist communities that, in this same policy, we are looking at how we can recruit veterinary officers and increase allocation towards the livestock sector. I want to assure the hon. Member that the National Livestock Policy will be brought to this House. The same has also been sent to the Departmental Committee on Agriculture, Lands and Natural Resources. We can assure you that we are going to address the issue of imbalance in terms of resource allocation from the Treasury."
