    "content": "Nowadays, we experience drought frequently; that is after every three years. It is very important that the Kenya Government adopts this proposal as part of climate change because it will help us realise Vision 2030, and our economic targets. However, the worrying thing is that livestock farmers in this country are always left out of Government plans and policies. I was surprised the other day when I visited my constituency and did not find a veterinary or livestock officer in the whole district. I doubted the livestock policies that this Government has. A livestock insurance fund will help us a lot because livestock farming will become lucrative or a viable economic activity just like crop farming, or any other business. Many people do not know that livestock farming is more productive than crop farming and other businesses. However, the main problem is drought, which we experience after every two to three years. We should establish a livestock insurance fund, so that livestock farmers can be compensated when they lose their animals to drought. If this is done, livestock farming will be a very viable economic activity, and it will take this country to the next level."
