    "content": "should make our country disease-free. We cannot go to the market with things that do not comply with international standards. Unless we stop thinking like how Hon. Pukose was while making his contribution, we are not going to solve this problem. I want to suggest that we pass this Bill, so that it can affect other policy areas. We do not have a well-thought-out livestock policy in this country. We should go back to the drawing board and review our livestock policy to ensure that our livestock farmers are supported through a hay scheme. They should be given hay on credit, so that their livestock do not lose weight. The management of the KMC should also be looked into. The Member for Mavoko might not have noticed how the Kshs450 million was utilised because his dying livestock were not bought by the KMC. Our livestock were bought by the KMC and we know how the money was utilised. I want to urge the Departmental Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Cooperatives to ensure that the conflicting legislations that would make the Livestock Marketing Board not perform properly are dealt with. With those few remarks, I look forward to the Ministry, whose focus is to establish disease-free zones, making Kenya free of Rift Valley Fever and looking for market for our livestock. The Ministry should also kill cartels in Kariobangi and improve the bad prices that slaughter houses are giving to our livestock farmers. They should ensure that we have an efficient KMC that can compete with private slaughterhouses, so that Kenyans can get better prices. I support."
