"content": "I can see the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Agriculture and Livestock, although he was busy on his phone for the longest time. Hon. Tiren, I see every Member even when they are hiding or when they are bending. There is no need of us saying that we include many other committees. I believe the Committee is up to task. If you read the allegations by the petitioners, they are claiming that the increase has been occasioned by policy gaps that have resulted in low production of plant based animal feeds components, extracted from soya beans, sunflower and cotton, among other plants in this country; unregulated exportation of locally produced animal feeds additives and high dependency on imports from neighbouring countries. Also, the high taxation of imports used in the manufacture of animal feeds and the ban on the importation of GMOs that would have supplemented local production. These are issues that the Departmental Committee on Agriculture and Livestock can be able to handle. In any event, they are all Members of this House. I would agree with the suggestion from a number of Members who have said that this matter is so important that Hon. Tiren should bring a report to the House, so that where you find gaps, Members can add their inputs. It affects the entire country. We are talking about food security and all these things. I know there are many of you who still want to contribute, but remember comments are only limited to 30 minutes. I will hear the Member or Nyando."
