    "content": "Thank you very much, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity. Firs to all, I would like to congratulate my friend, Sen. Naisula Lesuuda for this very important Motion. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for many years, the pastoralist communities have been left behind because of either deliberate policy decisions, like Sessional Paper No.10 of 1965 or through ignorance in terms of policy implementers, particularly in understanding the importance of livestock. In fact, there are many papers and statements in the public that have always somehow tried to label pastoralist life as backward and that pastoralist communities need to be reclaimed from that kind of life. But we know that pastoralism, particularly the keeping of livestock is very important for this country. It is important to emphasize what Sen. Billow talked about in terms of existence of a market, globally; that we can take advantage of the vast land in the pastoralist areas, which gives us an opportunity to have livestock, particularly the goats. I want to reiterate what the Mover of this Motion talked about having sweet meat. There is no better meat in this country than that of a goat from a pastoralist area. I think that it is important that we take advantage of that and capture the market globally. This will create employment for the youth and women and improve the economy.
