    "content": "the livestock sector is already contributing 12 per cent to our GDP. So, it is important to have a board that will promote, sensitise and give capacity. It will be gold for this country. It can become our next oil after the oil in Turkana. I have been to Somaliland. I went to the Port of Berbera and saw livestock being transported. I was shocked the kind of structures Somalia has in place. It is unfortunate that our country, which has so much livestock, lacks such infrastructure. They transport their livestock to the Middle East and are getting good income. For many years, Somaliland was not getting foreign aid and it was only using the money it was getting from the export of livestock. Kenya can make more money than what Somaliland is making. With those few remarks, I plead with this House to support this Bill so that Kenyan farmers can benefit. This will transform our country in a big way. I am a farmer and I am happy to see light at the end of the tunnel. I support. Thank you so much."
