    "content": "I rise to support this Bill and congratulate the Mover. The function of this Board is very comprehensive and I would like to lament on the idea of it developing and rehabilitating livestock marketing infrastructure. I recall when I was a child, my grandfather used to rear livestock and he used to sell hides and the carcass of the livestock. These things are no longer many because of climate change. This sector is neglected. One of the functions of this board would be to support infrastructure improvement in the slaughterhouses. I do not know how many slaughterhouses we have. Some counties do not even have slaughterhouses for livestock. This Bill should be supported fully. Once the board is put in place, it will deal with the issue of lack of standardisation of our products. Countries like Great Britain have successfully implemented the kind of arrangement being sought by this Bill and they market their livestock products world over. We will also be able to market our products across the world, not just in East Africa alone. Once this board is in place, all these functions will be done. Without elaborating and going through a lot, I think it will help our livestock sector. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
