    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, looking at the World Bank funded structural adjustment programme of the 1980s, during which a lot of the services that used to be provided by the Ministry of Livestock Development then were privatised, as a Ministry, we have realised the effect of that programme to the Kenyan farmer. So, in our opinion, provision of basic extension services is the business of the Government, and that of the Ministry of Livestock Development. At the same time, the private sector is very vibrant in the livestock sector, especially in drug distribution. Major veterinary pharmaceutical companies are based in Kenya. One of the best companies in the world, Mariel PLC of France, and many others, has a distribution network in this country. In our livestock producing rural areas we still have private practitioners. We have private veterinary doctors and private companies that sell their technology. So, as Government, it is our business to promote the private sector. However, regulation of the sector and provision of basic extension services, which are for the public good, will still remain within the docket of the Ministry of Livestock Development."
