    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, this is why, maybe, the saviour for the cow can come through these county governments, if they can hear us. Two years ago, when I was the Permanent Secretary (PS) for Industrialization, I went and visited abattoirs in Bungoma. That was in 2010. Every day, we consume 18 cows from West Pokot. Considering that you must eat meat every day, including Sunday, do the mathematics; 18 times 30. All these cows come all the way from West Pokot. Supposing these cows were slaughtered there? Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, what I did is that, recently, I went to Turkwel and I found young men who had bought cows. They were driving them for close to 100 kilometers by foot all the way from Turkwel to Kapenguria, where they would load them onto a lorry to supply to Bungoma, Chwele and other markets in western Kenya. There are some traders that are perpetually coming faithfully to West Pokot every Saturday because you must eat meat. So, eleven lorries come from West Pokot to Dagoretti every day. What if there were no cows coming from West Pokot? I followed those animals and I took a picture of the livestock from the source and also at their destination. I found that they had reduced in size and weight because of the many kilometres that they had to cover on the road. That means that, somehow, we did not pay attention to the meat products found in those areas."
