However, before I give my statement, I take this early opportunity to congratulate all the women of this country, particularly those seated in this House, on the International Women’s Day. I wish them all the best as they continue to play their part in the development of this country. Mr Speaker, Sir, pursuant to Standing Order No.46(2)(a), I rise to make a Statement regarding the Kenya Pastoralist Week (KPW), 2018. The Kenya Pastoralist Week is a multi-stakeholder partnership project held annually since 2003. The event provides a unique opportunity for stakeholders to interact with pastoralists on a wide range of issues and enable them to access markets which are often hard to reach. This year, Kajiado County will be hosting the KPW from 10th to 12 April, 2018 at the Maasai Technical Training Institute (MTTI). Hon. Senators, allow me to invite you all to this unique cultural event. Mr Speaker, Sir, allow me to state that in the year 2012, pastoralism contributed 12 per cent to the national Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Further, arid and semi-arid lands (ASALs) reared and produced about 70 per cent of the national livestock worth Kshs70 billion. The theme of this year’s Kenya Pastoralist Week is; “Supporting Climate Smart Pastoralism in Kenya.” The event will afford an opportunity to the stakeholders to reflect on the vulnerability of pastoralists to climate change. This is an approach that will play a role in transforming and re-orienting pastoralism development under new realities of climate change. The objectives of the event are:- (1)Achieve a more prominent involvement of the private sector, (2)Improve the working relationship between public-private sector, and; The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
