    "content": "commissioned a study to help set profitable prices for milk but the outcome is yet to be communicated. We are, again, following up with the Cabinet Secretary on the extent of actualization. Thirdly, there is the Resolution of the House on the establishment of livestock insurance fund based on a Motion moved by Hon. Abdi Aziz. We know that the Department of Livestock already operates the Livestock Restocking and Enterprise Department Fund that was established through Legal Notice No.58 of 28th May, 2009. The State Department of Livestock is currently pursuing the option of expanding the Fund to include livestock insurance. On this, we are aware that a programme on livestock insurance was rolled out in the counties of Wajir and Turkana during the then financial year when we tabled these reports. We have written to the Ministry to seek information on how farmers can access the funding and the plans for rolling this to other counties. Lastly, under the Ministry of Agriculture is the Resolution on the establishment of a grant for fishermen. This is based on a Motion moved by Hon. Ng’ongo. The Committee notes that the concerns of these resolutions have been factored into the Fisheries Management and Development Bill of 2014 which is currently before the House. We shall closely monitor the implementation upon the enactment of this Bill. We have a number of other resolutions pending before the House as well as reports from Departmental Committees. As I mentioned yesterday, as of now, we have already looked at 26 resolutions of this House. As I conclude, I would wish to say that one of the greatest challenges we are facing, as a Committee, is co-operation from the Executive arm of the Government, and in particular Cabinet Secretaries."
