    "content": "we have had since the colonial period. If Ethiopians, Somalis and the people of Djibouti are able to do it, why are we not able to do this as a country? Livestock farmers have never been supported by this nation and that is why the only State corporation that is meant to support livestock is in dire situation. There was a time Governor Kuti was the Cabinet Secretary for Livestock and Hon. Aden Duale, the Leader of the Majority Party, the Assistant Minister. Even then, it was in dire situation. It is so unfortunate and I do not know who to blame. It is time we financed this sector if livestock is going to contribute to the development of this nation. I beg the Budget and Appropriations Committee to work closely by bringing the policy framework so that even as the county governments work on this devolved function of this sector, they are able to contribute significantly to the GDP of this nation. It is doable, Botswana is doing it, Djibouti is doing it, Ethiopia is doing it, we can also do it here in Kenya."
