"content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. On the issue of GMOs, the high cost of feeds drives farmers out of the dairy and poultry industry. It is true that the more we receive imports from outside countries, the more it makes the dairy and poultry industry very expensive. The price of animal feeds has gradually been increasing and farmers barely make profits. Hon. Speaker, it is worrying that in Kenya, a litre of water cost Kshs109 while a litre of milk goes for Kshs32. It does not make sense since water is just purified, bottled and sold unlike milk which you must invest heavily in feeds before you get it. The principle of “Buy Kenya Build Kenya,” has never been implemented. It is high time that, as highlighted by the Petitioner, we looked at it as the Departmental Committee of Agriculture and Livestock. Kenya depends on imports from Zambia, Tanzania, Uganda and Malawi. The major sources of proteins in animals come from Soya beans, sunflower and cotton which have by-products. Hon. Speaker, we need to look into the pricing model on products in Kenya. I thank you and support the Petition."
