    "content": "Finally, if the importation was necessary, then I believe that there are many other countries that grow maize and they sell it at a cheaper price. The Cabinet Secretary, Hon. Moses Kuria, specifically stated that the importation is in respect to genetically modified maize. Countries like Zambia, Tanzania and Uganda, grow maize that is not GMO, and they sell the same at a cheaper price. We need proper investigation so that we know the intention of the importation that has been executed by the Cabinet Secretary. We are informed, although they are allegations, that as we speak there is a ship that has docked in Mombasa port and it is carrying 10,000 bags of maize. How can this be done without gazettement? We need to look into this issue critically so that at the end of it we do not disadvantage the hardworking farmers who have cultivated, planted maize, harvested and they get a disadvantage of the price. In addition, we should not import harmful maize for our people to consume in this country. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker."
