    "content": "Hon. Deputy Speaker, I rise to support this Motion. The issue of livestock farming in the ASAL areas and the issue of cattle loss is one of great concerns to this country. This should be an industry that is developed to capacity where we are able to draw significant revenue from export. It can create an industry where we may even not need insurance since we can have the necessary investments such as abattoirs within these areas. This will allow us to be able to package meat for export and increase meat for local consumption. This will not only improve this particular industry but it shall increase security within the country. In these areas where livestock are ravaged by severe climatic conditions we also find that security is a good issue. Once we address the issue of insecurity, we will also have a significant industry in which within the ASAL areas, we will have farmers who are able to support themselves and this will reduce the level of poverty in these areas. I therefore rise to support this Motion for livestock insurance in ASAL areas. Thank you."
