    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. My heart bleeds very seriously for my country because when matters which pose existential threat to us are brought to this House, I expect us to suspend our bi-partisan nature as a House. When we choose to poison animals and plants, we are poisoning ourselves. We cannot hide the GMO agenda on shortage of food in place of availability of food. Today’s world population is averaged at 7.8 billion. The projection is that by the year 2050, we will have about 9 billion people in the world. The production of food in the world today is enough to feed 14 billion people. The question is not, and has never been the issue of shortage. It is the issue of availability. In this country we have seen - and Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale is clear on this - that when drought is killing people in the north, we have Kenyans in Kiambu taking their cabbages to give to animals because they lack access to the market. We cannot trivialize the issue of GMO to an extent that we want to kill our people. You cannot talk about GMO without looking at the USA. The USA is a key partner of Kenya on matters GMO and 50 per cent of GMO food in the USA is given to animals."
