• 6 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity.

Pursuant to Standing Order No.44 (2) (c), I rise to request for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries regarding provision and sourcing of markets for livestock and livestock products both locally and internationally. Hon. Deputy Speaker, Pastoralists contribute to over 20 per cent of Kenya’s Gross Domestic Product through sale of livestock and livestock products.
