    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, North Eastern Province is a very rich region in this country. We have a lot of livestock. We have goats, sheep, cattle and camels. These are resources. How shall we be able to market them to the right market if we do not have proper infrastructure? We do not have good roads and airports. In fact, railway transport is not even known to the people of North Eastern Province. I know the funds might not be available for every development required, but justice must be done, so that we are not depended on relief food all the time. Since Independence up to now, our people are given relief food whenever there is drought or famine. If these people are supported by properly handling their livestock through marketing and infrastructure development, they will do business all over this country because they are very enterprising. They go to every region of this country. They do business in Nairobi, Kisumu and Mombasa. So, if proper infrastructure was there, they could do business all over the country. The livestock would be useful to them. Just like the oil that has been discovered in Turkana, livestock is also a resource and we can utilize it."
