    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, once again, I thank my good friend, Eng. Gumbo, for bringing this very important Motion. Indeed, it is a Motion that touches on the lives of close to 30 million Kenyans who use herbal medicine in this country. It is a Motion that seeks to find local solutions to an otherwise global problem. It is a Motion that seeks to bring about a legal and regulatory framework for the herbal industry in Kenya. It is a Motion that seeks to bring about safety for the lives of many Kenyans who are currently using alternative medicine. There are issues of safety that arise from this and we also need to look at how other countries have dealt with this problem. You will find that they have similar experiences where a large population uses herbal medicine. You have herbal medicines being imported into the country, particularly, from China which is advanced in herbal medicine. The Chinese herbal medicine is not only in this country. If you go all over the world, you will find that there are Chinese there practicing herbal medicine and many people believe that herbal medicine is safer than conventional medicines. Herbal medicine has no side effects and many people have resorted to using it."
