    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I want to start by thanking all the Members who have contributed to this Bill and go straightaway to the issues they have raised regarding the issue of qualifications of the board members. We will address this matter during the Committee of the whole House. That is the issue of qualifications of the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and the Chairman of the Board. The composition of the Board will have to include members from the pastoralist community or people from the livestock sector. The issue of separating regulation and marketing within the functions of the marketing board and other issues will also be addressed. I want to thank Members because this will go a long way in addressing the issues affecting livestock sector in Kenya. There is the issue of marketing and preparing the livestock sector in matters of data tech programmes. The climate change phenomenon is distorting the market industry of pastoralists in this country. The only way we can have hygienic and proper training in the meat industry is to create the proposed board. I want to assure hon. Members that all the issues that they have raised will be addressed during the Committee of the whole House. With those few remarks, I beg to reply."
