    "content": "Thank you very much for informing me. I think the former Minister is very informed, although I must add that I think Kshs150 million to cover all the areas under livestock is very small. What we are now talking about as a Senate is that, it is our job to make sure that the county governments actually operate. Anyway, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, my point is that, I think we need to go beyond looking at only the abattoirs. I think we should also look at this; when the animals come from the pastoralist areas and they die while waiting to enter the Kenya Meat Commission (KMC), for example, what happened? Why, first of all, are they bringing livestock in such large numbers at a go? Maybe it is because they are not able to sustain themselves where they are coming from. I am not convinced that we are unable to organize pasture and water for these areas so that we do not have to bring them here by force. We should not force them to bring their livestock because they do not know what to do when the dry season comes. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we are also aware--- The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
