Hon. Speaker, Sir, after that visit, is there hope that these refugees will be relocated? We feel that they are too much on us.

On a point of order, hon. Speaker, Sir. There is a tendency here in this House to define livestock as being only cows. I have not heard even a single person speak about camels. Can you find out whether in this House livestock is only defined as cattle?

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I support the Motion. Livestock, especially in the ASAL areas, is the only source of income. I think this matter should be taken seriously. Think of yourself, your wife and children being in an arid land. Due to climatic change, drought comes all of a sudden and sweeps away all your source of livelihood. This is the case, yet the person in charge of the Ministry of Livestock somewhere has ugali on the plate. The Ministry officials do not even care about women and children.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, this Motion says that it is not the livestock owners or persons who bring drought; this is a natural disaster.

This is a serious matter. We are saying that let us establish an insurance fund which will compensate these people.

We have NGOs in our areas where the presence of the Government is minimal. These NGOs do a good job. They restock for some of the farmers. For example, if you want to sell your camel in north eastern Kenya, and there is no market, you send it to Somalia or Ethiopia. People in Somalia, especially those in Baidoa and Kisimayu, bring their cattle to Garissa, which has the largest market for cattle in East and Central Africa, yet this Government and other governments do not want to recognise that fact. People in Dagoretti, where my friend, Hon. Simba, comes ...
