    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to thank my brother, Abdinoor Mohammed Ali, for coming up with this Bill at an hour like this when we have drought in our areas. I want to talk about the functions of the board that make me admire this Bill. First, the board will create a livestock and livestock products development and marketing board. We have some cartels in this business, who are not even the stakeholders in the livestock industry, who are buying livestock products at a cheaper price from the stakeholders and take it to other areas and sell them at a higher price. The board will regulate that and the business will run accordingly. Another function of the board is to advise the national Government and the county government on development and marketing of livestock. The two levels of Government - the national Government and the county governments - need the board because most of them have no knowledge about livestock and how they can improve the lives of the pastoralists in this country. The board will give them knowledge about the livestock industry so that both levels of government can contribute and set aside a budget that can benefit the pastoralists of this country. Another function of the board is to create the linkages between the buyer, seller and consumer. The livestock industry in this country will benefit the pastoralists in this country. Another issue that I want to bring to your attention is about the quality of the products that we get from livestock. We should have a body like this one which will establish the standards that will be acceptable nationally. The products that we get from livestock are the best in this world, but additional value is lacking. When we have that kind of board in this country, then our livestock will have additional value. As a result, they will be accepted internationally because we would have produced them according to international standards."
