    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to support the Bill. The creation of this board is long overdue because the most important sub-sectors in agriculture have marketing boards. Tea, coffee, sisal and many other agricultural products have marketing boards. This shows how the Government has ignored the livestock sector. The livestock sector is very important, especially to the pastoralists in ASAL areas. I want to do a correction – that it does not contribute 12 per cent to the GDP. It contributes 4 per cent. Nevertheless, it is a very important sector and, more so, when it comes to two of the Big Four Agenda of the Government, that is, manufacturing and food security. Coming to manufacturing, the Government had planned to establish a leather industrial park in Kinanie. This will be is a very important park because it will manufacture hides and skins up to the final product. Currently, we process hides and skins up to the wet blue stage. Everybody knows that hides and skin products are very expensive. Look at shoes and handbags! They are very expensive. The Government needs to move fast and establish that industrial park. When it comes to food security, meat and milk is taken by all people. So, the Government needs to move fast."
