    "content": " Hon. Speaker, I rise to ask the Cabinet Secretary for Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries the following Question: (i) Could the Cabinet Secretary confirm the existence of a national policy for the protection of donkeys, noting that the animals have been predicted to be extinct in Kenya by the year 2022 in light of the establishment of donkey abattoirs in the country? (ii) Could the Cabinet Secretary further confirm whether the establishment of several donkey abattoirs in the country, including M/s. Goldox, Starbrilliant Limited, Silzha and Fuhai, Machakos Trading Company Limited have attributed to declining numbers of donkeys nationally, as they have been trading in donkey skins that are in high demand in particular foreign markets for cosmetic value addition? (iii) What measures is the government taking to ensure that the donkey population in Kenya is protected, the slaughter of donkeys is regulated and that theft, rustling, smuggling and other vices against the animals are eradicated?"
