    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I appreciate the answer given by the Assistant Minister. However, the livestock sub-sector plays a very important role in the economy of this country. We cannot compare the current situation with what used to happen during the colonial time when we used to have organized livestock farming. We used to have a livestock marketing division, which was an organized department of the Ministry of Livestock Development. We used to have holding grounds, which were managed by the Government. What we have today is a shell of what used to happen. Taking into consideration that the livestock population in Kenya, particularly in the ASAL region, is a critical component of our economy; considering that there has been an attempt over the last few years to revive the Kenya Meat Commission (KMC) though at superficial level because where the KMC is now located, the ground belongs to somebody else, the facilities are for the KMC and eventually KMC will be thrown out of that ground, does the Government have a livestock policy?"
