• 5 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, the original Act reads that “An Act of Parliament to establish the Livestock and Livestock Products Development and Marketing Board.” The Act will now read that “An Act of Parliament to establish Livestock and Livestock Marketing Promotion Board.” We have removed the words “Products Development.” The Board cannot develop products because this will be done by the counties. The work of the Council is only to promote trade, which is exporting and maybe marketing locally. So, they will just market and not produce. view
• 5 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to move: THAT, the title of the Bill be amended by deleting the words “Development and Marketing” and substituting therefor the words “Marketing Promotion”. view
• 5 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to move: THAT, Clause 1 of the Bill be amended by deleting the words “Development and Marketing” and substituting therefor the words “Marketing Promotion”. This is very straightforward. view
• 16 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. view
• 16 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I only want the House to recognise that there is a new movement called (inaudible ) which we are trying to recruit the team. view
• 8 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: I will contribute as I second. I will try to play the role of the Chair and comment on where there are shortfalls in the Bill. I will also contribute as I second. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Hon. Abdinoor, Nominated Member of Parliament, for moving this Bill. It is timely and long overdue. From the history of this country, every other sector in this country that deals with crops such as cotton, tea and pyrethrum has been managed by a board. This very crucial sector of livestock contributes largely to the economy of this country ... view
• 8 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: depend on livestock. At the same time, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, livestock products contribute largely to food security in this country. It is not only crops which have been invested in by successive Governments in terms of uplifting the standards of living in those areas of high potential, both in dairy and crop farming. In the two Ministries of Agriculture and Livestock, livestock is overlooked and it becomes almost subordinate to agriculture all the time. Therefore, in terms of resource allocation and historically, the Government has never invested in this sector. Even the previous colonial Government never invested in the ... view
• 8 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Time has come. This is a potential sector in this world; not only in Kenya but this world. We have lost almost all the markets in the world. The Arabian countries, which are the biggest consumers of meat are next door, but they are exporting meat to as far as Australia and Brazil at very high costs. We have lost our European Union (EU) quota of beef to very small countries like Namibia and Botswana. It is very unfortunate that this very critical sector, which has a very high potential as I have said, has been neglected by the Government ... view
• 8 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: In Clause 6, the board’s composition also has an issue in the sense that there are about four Principal Secretaries (PSs), including the Director of Veterinary Services, in a board of eight or nine members. It will become more or less half a Government institution. For one, I propose the removal of the PS for Co-operatives and we remain with the PSs for Livestock, Finance and Devolution – those three PSs. On Subsection (g) of Clause 6, there is no need for the Director of Veterinary Services and his PS to sit on the same board. Either the PS or ... view
• 8 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: We need this country to invest heavily on the livestock health sector in this country. We have only one institution which produces vaccines for livestock in this country. That is not even known to Kenyans. The livestock drugs and vaccines in this country are very expensive whereas we have a capacity to produce livestock vaccines locally. The Government is not giving capital investment to that institution so that, at least, it can modernise those machines to produce more vaccines for the farmers to afford the drugs. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, with those few remarks, I beg to second. Thank you. view
