the capacity to absorb. Development of Blue Economy initiative was allocated Kshs1.2 billion from the Kshs435 million while exploitation of livestock resources under the Blue Economy was allocated Kshs2.5 billion compared to Kshs575 million last year.

Thank you. The savings we made from the Blue Economy were re-allocated as follows: Kenya Meat Commission (KMC) Modernisation Project that is going on was allocated Kshs190 million; Disease-Free Zone at Bachuma, Kshs50 million; Development of Mau Buffer Zone, Kshs100 million; and Fall Army Worm Programme, Kshs200 million.

That will settle the farmers’ debt completely. We added money where we had maximum impact as follows: Household Irrigation Water Harvesting, Kshs325 million; Food security ...

system provides a link for structured trade in commodities through linkage with commodity exchanges. This is very important. It is what the market requires. It is time we restructured the NCPB to align it with this Bill. With those few remarks, I beg to second.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I also rise to oppose this amendment. Considering the fact that a lot of Kenyans are even committing suicide as a result of this gaming and betting, we should not reduce the penalty from what the Chairman has proposed. I oppose vehemently any attempt to reduce the penalty on betting because it is a social menace. A lot of people are suffering as a result of people taking advantage of them, including committing suicide.
