    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. On the first Petition on autoimmune diseases, some Members may not understand what autoimmune diseases are. Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus is an autoimmune disease. You can talk of diseases like Rheumatoid Arthritis. One of our colleagues, Hon. Mukwe, who died while serving in this Parliament, had Rheumatoid Arthritis. So, this is not a strange disease. It is a common disease. Majority of the poor people have type 1 Diabetes Mellitus. So, we need to give it due consideration. Somebody should not die because of having a disease that is inherited. So, when the Committee looks at it, it should give it the seriousness it deserves. On the Petition by Hon. Sabina Chege, I would request that the Committee on Delegated Legislation be involved. We have gazettements that have been done on issues and the Committee on Delegated Legislation has not looked into them. So, the Committee on Delegated Legislation should be involved because the Departmental Committee on Agriculture and Livestock does not have the capacity to know whether this has gone through the Committee on Delegated Legislation. The issues that have been raised are pertinent. It is important that the coffee sector is protected. We have a Bill in this House that deals with the coffee sector. I support."
