    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I also stand to support the Motion. There are two problems. One is food sufficiency and the need to import maize, while the other one is the issue of GMO. If I may begin with the GMO issue, it has been said in this House that our decisions should be informed by scientific research findings. That will be very attractive. Quite eminent Members have said here that whenever there is a doubt on scientific findings, it is better to be on the side of safety. It is needless when you are aware of a possibility of a substance being poisonous, but you still take the risk of taking it. I have listened to the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Agriculture and Livestock utter very scientific terminologies. Unfortunately, I did not get an opportunity to rise on a point of order. He was absolutely out of order to quote scientific findings without acknowledging the source. Everyone who has talked about scientific findings has not quoted a scientist that I know about. We grow maize in Trans-Mara. We grow a variety called 614 and very many other varieties. Those maize varieties have been developed by Kenyan scientists, who have also developed several other varieties of indigenous crops. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for informationpurposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
