Edo State Cattle Rearing and Grazing Agency have passed second reading

   

  A Bill for a law to establish the Edo State Cattle Rearing and Grazing Agency have passed second reading on the floor of the Edo House of Assembly.
   Hon. Bright Osayande, who led the debate for the passage of the bill, said the incessant killing of defenseless farmers and the needless destruction of crops by herdsmen was a call for concern.

  He called on the lawmakers to make deliberate efforts at giving members of the public a feeling of protection by regulating the activities and menace of herdsmen through stiff penalties.
  On his part, Speaker of the House, Rt. Hon. Justin Okonoboh, emphasised the need for a public hearing with a view to engendering robust contributions to the bill, even as he referred the bill to the House Committees on Agriculture, Environment and Judiciary for further input.
