    "content": "that lead to? Once our bio diversity is threatened, our wild plants and crops will be affected given that Africa, the mother continent of the world, is the only place now with a potential of having organic foods which are very expensive in continents like the United States of America (USA). Kenya is a very fertile country. We have the potential on a silver platter to produce more of these organic products and export them to the countries where they are very expensive. GMOs in the USA are consumed by the poor blacks and the Latinos. They consume them because they are cheaper and they cannot be able to produce. This is because the production of organic foods is very expensive. The GMOs are manufactured by very few billionaires. When they come to dump the GMOs in Arica, it means that only a handful of people are going to benefit from the riches of the GMOs. According to recent surveys and studies, the next billionaires are going to come from agriculture and Information and Communications Technology (ICT) sectors. Why can Kenya and Africa and large not be thinking about diversifying our economic possibilities and agricultural diversity to get into the list of billionaires and contribute to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of our country in a positive way? Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we cannot afford to bury our heads in the sand. We must call a spade a spade and not a big spoon. I am calling on both our coalitions to stand as one because we will always say the right thing since it is never wrong. I thank you and I support this Motion."
