"content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, legislation which looks like our core business is what we do best here. In this House, we have made over 120 laws governing agriculture. This makes it not only confusing, but some of them are archaic. For instance, I want to refer to Cap.320 â African Produce Rule 4 in which Africans are not supposed to sell eggs between 6.00 a.m. and 6.00 p.m. If we are going to sit here and play our role in legislation, then we must wake up to the fact that we are not doing very well as hon. Members. We need to have at least a maximum of four pieces of legislature. I am looking forward to see the Bills that will make that happen. We should repeal most of those archaic laws and then make less confusing statutes that farmers can follow, including the 10 per cent rule being introduced on agro-forestry. We want to congratulate the Minister for that. Even when we do 5 per cent on our water towers without looking at agro- forestry section, we shall still not be doing very well."
