"content": " Hon. Speaker, I beg to move a Motion pursuant to Standing Order 33(1). I rise to seek leave to move a Motion for Adjournment of the House for the purpose of discussing a definite matter of urgent national importance regarding importation of Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO) maize into the country. Hon. Speaker, this is a very urgent issue which needs attention of the nation. It is harvesting time in most areas in the Rift Valley and other areas that produce maize. This year, we are expecting a robust harvest because of the good rains. Unfortunately, the Government or the Cabinet Secretary for Trade, Investment and Industry decided that he is going to import 10 million bags of maize into the country at a time when most farmers are expecting to harvest and sell. This has created a lot of issues from our farmers."
