    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, as I stand to reply, I want to thank my colleagues for speaking to this Motion and interrogating it. We have heard that it is the livestock sub-sector that is going to improve and add to the gains that we anticipate to receive in the Vision 2030. We are calling upon the Government to identify where we lost it. We should make sure that extension officers are closer to the people and relevant vaccines are available where needed. You note that the previous laboratories that used to be strategically placed around the country have gone down and they need to be revived. Quarantine stations that I have previously talked about also need to be revived. The holding grounds where human beings are now staying must be vacated in consultation with the relevant county governments. These areas should be restored to their previous status. Disease barriers and inspection points should also be activated. In doing this, we are looking at the whole country. By just eliminating the stubborn diseases in these areas, it automatically translates that these other areas which have not been mentioned will be safer because they are already practicing zero-grazing while some are doing dairy farming. They are spending a lot of money to fight diseases like East Coast Fever (ECF). It takes not less than Kshs8, 000 for a dose. It is going to be easier to manage them. I want to thank everybody and to say that this is the way to go. We shall be asking the Senate Committee on Implementation to make a follow up of the Motions that have been passed here that touch on the lives of the people in the rural areas. When the aspirations of the Motions are achieved, they will open up jobs for the young people that are moving around. I beg to move."
