    "content": "I want to thank the Chairman of the Parliamentary Pastoralists Group for that extra information. That is how that sector is critical. We are not going to let it to go to waste any more. The traditional communities are still keeping the same old breeds because nobody cares about them. The environment has changed as hon. Shabesh has said. We need to move in that area and ensure that we keep the right breed that can persevere and adjust to the changing environment. For example, there is a breed of goats that will always give birth to twins or triplets. We need those ones here so that we can multiply our livestock and increase our productivity. They are not very far. Down here in the South, you will find many of those breeds. What are we waiting for? What is our contribution to that sector? It is inevitable for this Bill to be supported by the Ministry. I am surprised that they are not even represented here. It must be supported by all hon. Members present here. I am not dictating. I am just showing how important that sector is. How many surgeons are there in Turkana and Garbatula? Our own mothers and fathers are the ones who attend to that livestock illegally. However, the technicians are nearby and they can assist. Let us allow them to practice. In human medicine, the nurses and lab technicians practise. That level of paramedics or paravets should be allowed. I have no doubt that these hon. Members are convinced. The surgeons have their own role to play right there. Different professionals have that niche that they have in their own line of professionalism. At different levels, different professionals have a niche. There is a general practitioner, a clinical officer, a gynecologist or an obstetrician and so many others. Everybody has his niche. In fact, the surgeons should be able to support this. It is only those specialized cases that will need a surgeon. Let the technicians do the rest of the job, so that people in this country have access to veterinary services. Then the person in Lodwar, Garbatulla and Laisamis will get these services in a regulated manner. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, since there are many Members who are very keen to support this Bill, I wish to stop here and I want to allow them time so that they have enough time to support it. With those remarks, I beg to strongly support the Bill."
