    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, while I acknowledge that there are 24 million Kenyans with mobile telephones, it is also important to know - I think the issue has come up on the Floor of the House - that there are areas without mobile network. This is particularly important in areas where we have got this problem of cattle rustling because when we have the District Peace Committee that has been established by the Government to assist security personnel to bring about peace and reconciliation among the neighbouring communities, sometimes it becomes difficult even for people to communicate with security agents due to lack of mobile phone service. So, I would like to appeal to the Government to liaise with mobile telephone providers so that they are able to bring mobile phone services at strategic places for ease of communication. When the President gave his Speech, he did not say much about the livestock sector. The only thing he mentioned was the revival of the Kenya Meat Commission (KMC). I want to say here that although the KMC has been revived, it is not giving service to pastoralists. In the last Budget, the Government provided Kshs300 million for restocking but the money has been returned to the Treasury. I would like the Government to give us back that money for restocking. Thank you."
