    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think the reason the Committee left out sheep was basically because globally, sheep milk has not been commercialised to the point we would have to worry about it being sold in the market. However, I can tell you for sure that I used to milk my Merino sheep. A glass of Merino sheep milk can prepare – I do not know how to measure – a big sufuria of tea. It has a higher concentration than if you were to use cow milk. I am talking from experience. If you have two or three Merino sheep, you will take very fantastic tea in your home. Since most of it has not been commercialised to the extent that it needs public regulation, that is perhaps the reason why it should be left; and understandably so. Camel and goat milk are highly commercialised and, therefore, that regulation makes sense. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, there is an amendment in Section 9 that prescribes licences that will regulate issues of milk. The Committee proposes that the licensing requirements shall be overseen by county governments. I totally agree with it. Those regulations will prescribe the manner of handling, storage, dispensing and general management of dairy produce. It will also deal with the collection of dairy levy by county governments. The regulations to be made under the Act should provide for punishment for a fine not exceeding Kshs3 million, or a term of imprisonment not exceeding three years or both."
