    "content": "been able to identify strategic places where security posts can be set up. It is possible to deploy security personnel but without transport they cannot manage it. This has been mentioned on the Floor of the House; you may have an Officer Commanding Police Division (OCPD), the District Commissioner (DC) but without the transport they will not be able to do much. We appreciate the efforts that have been made by the Government particularly in assisting livestock keepers. When drought gets so severe instead of letting the animals die, the Government has always come up with a programme of off take or buying of livestock. We appreciate this. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, pastoralists do not require seeds when rains come. Pastoralists do not plough or carry out cultivation at all. It will just be a question of trying to build their stock. We are appealing to the Government that just as you consider the provision of seeds and fertilizers to farmers, it is also important to consider pastoralists so that when the situation improves we can do restocking. You cannot force them to carry out agricultural activities which they do not know anything about. I want to appeal that as much as we do the off-take exercise during drought, we can also be assisted to do restocking when conditions improve. With those few remarks, I beg to support."
