    "content": "Another benefit of this Bill that we want to bring to your attention is the empowerment of the pastoralists. Whatever we will get from our products will, in turn, improve the livelihoods of the pastoralists. Once their products are sold outside and they get money, they will be empowered economically. That will give them the purchasing power to buy the things that they need. For now, the pastoralists of this country have no purchasing power. They depend on handouts from the Government and yet, they have a resource which, if they used it very well, it can benefit them. That is why we need the board so that it can establish how the pastoralists can have the purchasing power in this country. This Bill will create job opportunities both in the national Government and the county governments. The board will come up with processes. We shall have the producer, the consumer and the buyer. For all those processes, you must employ people so that we can connect the system. If we have the board, it will create job opportunities for our people. Revenue collection in this country will increase because the products we will export will bring income. We will pay taxes and, as a result, the revenue of this country will increase. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, on the issue of international standards that I had already spoken about earlier, if we make our products to international standards, we will even export our labour so that those countries can benefit from it.
