    "content": "We also realized that as a method of export, we will not only wait for the creation of disease-free zones because they are very costly and very involving but we decided to move on to contact countries that would send their directors of veterinary services. In collaboration with the two directors of veterinary service, we have established several export markets for our livestock while we also continue working on the disease-free zones. Due to these efforts, I would like to announce to the House that every week we are able to export about 1,200 head of cattle and about 4,000 goats and sheep. This has remarkably improved the price of goats and sheep. While we were going round to campaign for the passage of the Constitution, I was in North Horr and the farmers there are very pleased. They say that the price has now shot up from Kshs800 in the past to about Kshs2, 500 and in the markets here in Nairobi where goats were selling for about Kshs3, 000 or Kshs4, 000 they are currently selling for over Kshs7, 000. Therefore, this has improved the income to the primary producer who in the past used to suffer a lot."
