• 16 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: The principal objective of the Livestock and Livestock Products Marketing Board Bill is to streamline marketing of livestock and livestock products in this country. This is in line with the fact that although the livestock industry is a very important source of income for many households in Kenya, its regulation is carried out by different entities.

• 16 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: the livestock sector is already contributing 12 per cent to our GDP. So, it is important to have a board that will promote, sensitise and give capacity.

They transport their livestock to the Middle East and are getting good income. ... view
