    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I have heard the sentiments by the Chief Whip and the other Members but I wish to notify them that at the debate stage, we indicated that we would bring this amendment. There was a discussion along the lines of the amendment and it was supported by Members from Tharaka Nithi, Meru, Kitui, Machakos and Makueni. The assumption is, the crop we intend to introduce is well known in the country. It is a staple food crop and also a cash crop in those areas. In my view, the advantages of having this crop scheduled outweigh any disadvantages. I do not think that the House would in any way come up with any other decision even if the crop was discussed. It is a widely consumed crop, in fact, in every part of the country. It is a crop that, possibly, this House should have interest in. As we look at this crop, knowing Kenya is an agricultural country, we have to consider other crops from time to time. It is not clear why the crop was not scheduled, but I presume that it may not have been known. I would have brought a schedule of advantages and disadvantages but I wish to notify the The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
