    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. We welcome the future of our country. I am sure they are working very hard because a man called Matiang’i is in town. So, they must sweat and read for their exams. So, the board that this Bill anticipates to create will do a number of things. It is supposed to regulate the livestock and livestock products development and marketing industry and do collaboration between the Ministry responsible for trade. This is the board that is supposed to be focussed on how to create markets both locally and internationally for livestock and livestock products to Middle East and countries where livestock products are consumed. The board is supposed to advise the national Government on matters relating to livestock, act as a bridge and liaison between the national Government and the private sector and other agencies in as far as livestock business is concerned and provide market access. The key issue is how we access livestock markets for the producers, stakeholders and those who deal in value addition. That will be the function of the board - to create efficiency and competitiveness of the livestock sector. The board will prepare and maintain updated national livestock census because we need to know the number of goats, sheep and camels that we have. My colleagues go to Kiambu and do coffee farming. They do tea farming in Kericho. Hon. Nyikal and his team do fish farming. We do camel farming. We do goat farming. We must coordinate and build that diversity. The board is supposed to coordinate national donor funded projects related to the development of livestock. There are too many projects funded by donors The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
