    "content": "eastern world, a lipstick is used in almost every minute in the world. If we promote that plant so that it is planted in the Coast and in many other parts of Kenya with similar climatic conditions like Ukambani, we are going to have a cash crop that will sell fast. We have learned even from the medical experts - the doctors in the House - that it is an oxidant. It helps the body to fight poisonous substances because of Vitamin A and other elements which make it very useful. This is a very useful plant and further experiments should ensure that this plant is used in the manufacture of drugs such as Vitamin A, especially during this COVID-19 period. Looking at how the economies will grow post-COVID, this is an important thing that the country should focus on. We should promote that plant. I am happy that it has been brought to the House and since this is a live broadcast, many Kenyans have learnt about this useful plant. I am sure that many farmers have learnt about its uses. Many people and Kenyans like the food delicacies of the Coast. I have today learnt that the red celery in fish and most foods at the Coast are useful for one’s health. This plant must be promoted in public rallies by Members of Parliament from that region. As it has been requested, the Cabinet Secretary must visit the Coast as soon as this Bill becomes law and I am sure it is going to be expedited. It is a very useful crop and, as a country, we are looking for value addition and it is funded by the World Bank and other partners. This crop must be promoted. The ActionAid, United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and World Bank like promoting agricultural-based economies owing to the fact that Kenya’s main activity is agriculture. We must promote that plant and ensure that the coastal people are able to grow it massively knowing that there is market and support from the Government and the MPs. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I support."
