    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, over the last 18 years, the Government has recruited veterinary officers only three times, that is, in 1989, 1984 and 1997. The average age of the veterinary officers in Kenya today is 48 years. This means that, in fact, in the next seven years, a number of them will be retiring and we will have very few veterinary officers. Now, this has a consequence on the livestock sector, including international trade in livestock products, and also our dairy sector. Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I just want to draw the attention of the House to the fact that, in fact, in the current Budget, the recruitment of veterinary officers has once more been left out."
