    "content": "Hon. Shimbwa): I also wish to thank God for enabling me to be the winner for the Changamwe seat. I also pray to God to guide me in this House and in my constituency and at the national level to provide leadership that will go a long way to make Kenya a better place. I also take this early opportunity to thank my constituents for having confidence in me and I promise to do my best to serve them diligently with all my energy and wisdom. I also stand to support this Motion in the sense that other countries like Europe have areas designated for specific industries and this has made it possible for people not to be migrating the way we are seeing in Kenya. The fact that we have brought in a new Constitution as a result of the inability of the previous government to serve all regions equitably, I propose that we support this Motion and make the livestock industry a vibrant one and which can be made a foreign exchange earner for this country. For the few of us who have travelled to European and Arabic countries you find beef is actually more expensive than even chicken. So, if we can improve by way of minimum guarantee returns or by way of insuring them, I think we shall make this region to turn into areas which are going to be productive and to be more developed just as other regions have developed. So, just like we are supporting the growth of our tea, coffee and pyrethrum, we should also support that these people who are in these difficult areas should also be supported so that we do not see people crying year in, year out about drought, floods and other calamities. For those reasons I support the Motion."
