• 29 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: (a) The Government used to provide AI services at a very subsidized cost until when the policy of free supply of AI services was changed in the late 1990s. This was due to the economic hardships experienced in the 1980s and 1990s which again resulted in the implementation of the Structural Adjustment programmes (SAPs). The implementation of this programme recommended the privatization of AI services throughout the country. This entailed encouraging the private sector practitioners, the dairy co-operative societies and the self-help groups in set up AI services, and through the Ministry of Livestock, Department of Veterinary Services, to give ... view
• 29 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: (b) This privatization process was successful in the high to medium potential areas but was not very well captured in the marginal and low potential areas such as Marakwet. In regions where AI privatization is not sufficient or has all along not taken root, the Department of Veterinary Service will continue rendering the service on a full cost recovery basis. In the case of Marakwet, the District Veterinary Officer has been instructed to embark on the above mentioned programme on providing and facilitating the AI service in Marakwet. In addition, private AI service providers in Marakwet are also on the ... view
• 29 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to assure the hon. Member that the Department of Veterinary Service, through the district veterinary officer, is providing the AI service. But on the private sector, the service provider at Kapsowar, Unitech Agrovet does and performs and average of 30 to 40 inseminations a month. We have the record, the private sector is there but I want to assure the hon. Member that as the Government, because it is a marginal area, we will provide this service and we will encourage the AI to--- view
• 29 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: Which letter, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir? view
• 29 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I did not say that we have written a letter. The district veterinary officers, as we speak today, are all in Nairobi. The instructions were given three months ago. On the ground I said, today, the District Veterinary Officer, Kapsowar, our office, has this service. Unitech Agrovet, a private service provider that does between 30 to 40 AI every month and has enough stock for the services. view
• 29 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is very good that the hon. Member has raised the issue of insufficient staff in the Ministry. Last year, we recruited about 100 veterinary doctors and a number of community animal health workers. This view
• 29 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I agree with the hon. Member. But with the commissioning of the new liquid nitrogen plant at Kabete three months ago, we have reduced the price from Kshs90 to Kshs70 per litre. If you compare with what private sector companies like BOC charge, with that new plant in place, we have reduced the cost of production for the Government. I can assure the hon. Member that our next stage is to regulate the agents. They are supposed to sell at Kshs145 per straw. The aspect that remains is to make sure that we set a ... view
• 29 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: I think I have tabulated how we have reduced the price per litre because of the new liquid nitrogen plant. We have tabulated the price and how we are going to control the 750 AI technicians certified by the Government. With the new liquid nitrogen plant that produces about 2,600 litres within 48 hours, I want to assure the hon. Member that it is our business to subsidize and control the prices for our members. view
