    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute. I stand to support the proposed appointment of Hon. Ochieng’ Mbeo. I sincerely thank the President for settling for Hon. Mbeo after looking at those Kenyans who were interested in taking this job. If you look at his experience, qualifications and indigenous livelihood, he is the best person who fits this position. The President must have looked at many other Kenyans before settling on Hon. Ochieng’ Mbeo. I sincerely thank the President. Hon. Mbeo will be appointed because Parliament will unanimously give him a hand. He should stop this plastic fish that is coming into the country from China and other areas. Technology has grown very fast. I was told that people are about to manufacture babies soon. Plastic fish and rice are already in the market. Why must we import fish when we have all the resources to produce it? If you look at how climate change is affecting the pastoralist areas, the production of red meat particularly that of cattle, will go down very soon. Definitely, the alternative is to have fish ponds all over, market and teach people how to eat fish. I concur with my friend, who does not eat fish with the head because it normally looks at him. I normally chop-off the head so that it does not look at me. I put it aside and eat the rest. We know that we will soon table the Livestock Marketing Board Authority Bill in this House. I request the President to have the same keen eye and make sure that he gets somebody who is very experienced in matters of livestock. He needs to pick somebody from camel rearing areas because in pastoralists’ areas, camel will be the first source of protein in the near future because of climate change. Fish will be second. With those few remarks, I support this proposed appointment."
