    "content": "Hon. Speaker, my concern is on Vote R153, which relates to the funds allocated to the Department of Livestock. In the months of April and May we expect rains but the rains this time round have failed. This has affected both farmers and livestock keepers. Probably, farmers are a lot better as compared to livestock keepers because farmers can store their harvest until the rain comes. On the other hand, livestock keepers are disadvantaged because their livestock gets weaker every day. The only way the Government should have assisted livestock keepers, particularly now that we are experiencing severe drought; is to organise for off-take exercise, where livestock are bought when they are still healthy, so that livestock keepers do not lose a lot of their livestock. I am very concerned that the amount of money allocated is only Kshs1.8 billion. The Ministry has very many other departments. So, this is one area where the Budget and Appropriations Committee should be able to give a lot of consideration in future. Thank you, hon. Speaker."
