    "content": "Agriculture and Livestock, we believed that it is only a person from the pastoralist area who needs to sit in that Ministry because they understand the problem. But then, he is again tied because the politics come in and he finds himself being pushed by those who are the supporters and campaign funders. Therefore a person is tied so much so that they cannot do their work. There is also clanism politics and so on which affect the whole process. Therefore, we need to ask ourselves, as the Senate, if we want to really help the livestock industry then it is time we separated politics and provision of services and come up with strategies on how we can help our young people who would wish to engage in any business but they have no idea how to do it. It is because they do not have the resources. Madam Temporary Speaker, recently I was watching television and Jimmy Gathu in his programme: “the Hustlers Programme“, had a young man saying that he started by buying one goat at a Kshs1, 000 and now he is doing so well that he is able to make a livelihood from that. He is just in Limuru. This means that anywhere in this country any young man can move on and build his life the way he would wish. I would wish us as Senate to look at issues that are affecting our people. We passed this Constitution knowing very well that we will restore Kenya. That it was a new beginning of looking at things very differently. I hope with this Motion, we shall look at the sector that brought resources in this country. Formerly, it was agriculture and we never used to separate them until politics made us separate agriculture and livestock. This is because one side was not looking at the other one. We concentrated on one side but we forgot the other side where together we bring better production. That is what we need to do. I beg to support."
