    "content": "The Petitioners are, therefore, praying for the intervention of this House to look into the issues raised and: 1. Recommend to the relevant Government ministries to consider lifting the ban on genetically modified agricultural materials that are vital raw materials in the manufacture of animal feeds in order to lower the cost of production and prices of animal feeds hence revitalizing the livestock sub-sector in the country. 2. Recommend immediate ban on exportation of milling by products especially wheat bran, wheat pollard and maize germ to improve the quantities supplied to the local manufacturers of animal feeds so as to stabilize the market prices for animal feeds. 3. Amend the relevant provisions of VAT Act, 2013 and any other relevant tax laws by lowering or abolishing the taxes imposed on vitamin and mineral premixes and additives used in producing animal feeds in order to reduce their price. 4. Make any other recommendations that deems appropriated in remedying the situation decried by the petitioners. Hon. Members, having determined that the matters raised by the Petitioners are well within the authority of this House, I order that pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order No. 227(1), that the Petition be committed to the Departmental Committee on Agriculture and Livestock. The Committee is required to consider the Petition and report its findings to the House and to the Petitioners in accordance with Standing Order No.227 (2). Thank you. I will just take my seat to allow those other Members to make their way quickly because there is another one."
