    "content": "You can see that this attitude is not only with the Cabinet Secretary (CS) for Trade and Industry because he has his boss. If the President does not share in the attitude of the CS for Trade and Industry, Hon. Moses Kuria, he should not wait for Members of Parliament (MPs) to collect signatures to impeach him. He should just say that this is not the attitude that we came into power with. We came into power on the promise of being the Government for the Mwananchi . The arrogance that is being displayed by this CS, that he has the audacity to talk to the people of Kenya the way he did, saying that, yes, we have 1000 ways to die, why not add one more way to kill Kenyans? In light of all the complaints, I expect him not dare gazette that importation that he wanted to. He should hold on. If Sen. Cherarkey is to be believed, let us have that conversation as Kenyans about the safety of food that is imported into this country. In the event that he continues in that attitude that he believes that he is the boss of everyone--- This GMO food that is going to be imported will not only be eaten in the household of CS Moses Kuria. It is for all of us and our children. We are not going to know the distinction. Senators spoke about the need to label. I, however, argue that, even if you label to a hungry man, and tell him that this Unga is GMO and it is Kshs10, and this one is organic and it is Kshs.100, it is a false choice for that person because they do not have much of a choice in that particular matter. I, therefore, stand to support you. I wish that some of the proposals that we had made during the campaigns are adopted for us to invest more in irrigation, and local manufacturing of inputs for farming. I urge all of us to ensure that we support and encourage our farmers so that we do not see a decline in the number of farmers. I thank you, Mr Deputy Speaker Sir."
