so on. We need these things to be harmonized and structured in a manner that a board can manage. Therefore, the insinuation he is creating that we are bringing this Bill for political mileage at this juncture is neither here nor there. The Jubilee Government has already taken off with regard to initiating the livestock insurance sector in the five counties; that is, Marsabit, Mandera, Isiolo, Wajir and Tana River. So, he is trying to mislead the nation and the House. He is out of order.

situation. We only engage in mitigation measures when there is an emergency but when the emergency is over, say, when we have little showers of rain, we forget about the whole situation.

Despite the fact that Kenya is a signatory to the Maputo Declaration of 2005 that requires every African ...
