    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, let me also thank the Mover of the Motion for donating her time. This Motion has come at the right time so that it can be a challenge to our counties. The issue of animals as stipulated in the Fourth Schedule is a county matter. Let me just inform this House about my county so that they can know the importance of this Motion. Going by the population of my county, we are about 800,000 people and about 400,000 people live in cosmopolitan areas while others live in reserve areas which are semi-arid and they rear cattle. The people who are employed and do not live on livestock could be less than 20,000 but the rest depend purely on livestock. So, you can imagine how important that group is. This group does not come to look for work in Nairobi or other urban areas. What I am saying is that this economy has been neglected despite the fact that it is a thriving economy on its own. If only the Government can come up and assist, particularly now that we have a devolved system of governance, the county governments can make sure that the abattoirs are built in each and every county. There is big demand for meat, not just locally but also internationally. I support."
