    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I oppose the Motion. The GMOs are used by civil societies and people who oppose their use without facts. We have to stand with our country. When there was drought in the country in 1984, I was a young boy. The country was supplied with yellow maize and everybody opposed it. Why do you allow our people to die just for the fact that you are proud and you do not want to eat yellow maize which is eaten all over the world? The issue of GMOs has been exaggerated. Nobody has facts. If you look at countries that allow the use of GMOs like South Africa, their life expectancy is higher than in Kenya. Therefore, the life expectancy of people who consume GMO is high. Everybody consumes broilers in KFC and Galito’s which are the same as GMOs. However, nobody opposes them. I oppose the Motion. Let the country, the President and the Cabinet Secretary come up with a solution on how we will lower the cost of unga and farm inputs for our dairy farmers, so that we can start working on this country. The GMOs are all over the world. They have not been challenged directly. It is only rhetoric which has no facts. Therefore, I oppose the Motion. I stand with our Cabinet Secretary and the President. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker."
