    "content": " Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I hope my time is also taken care of due to this interruption. As you are aware, agriculture in this country is the mainstay of more that 60 per cent of the Kenyans. Kenyans right now eat ugali and it is going to be extremely dangerous if ugali will now be mixed with something else because Kenyans will find themselves in such a difficult situation. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, you will notice that particularly on issues of diseases, there is going to be a lot of resistance on antibiotics. Similarly, there are possible links to cancer and reproductive problems. Our socio-economic concerns on this are based on the fact that Kenyans rely on one particular foodstuff which is maize. At one time, I went to my brother, Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale’s house and we ate a lot of ugali and chicken. Now I am wondering, if this ugali which we were given by Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale had been a GMO product, I do not know whether some of us would have been men. He is a bull-fighter and a man. Finally, we have to call the National Biosafety Authority, which is there to regulate Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs)."
