    "content": "There should be partnership in research between the Government and the private sector. The private sector should be the key driver and mover of research like in any other developed country. I also want to take this opportunity to congratulate the Ministry for moving very fast. We passed the Biosafety Act early this year and the Minister has moved very fast to establish a Biosafety Authority. I think this is extremely important because the issue of GMOs in this country has been an issue that people do not understand. I think, by establishing this Authority, people will understand the role of GMOs, how they can be controlled and how, as a country, we should control and regulate them. This is an area that I wish to encourage the Ministry to move forward and set up an authority so that it can become functional. I was disturbed that it was only allocated Kshs50 million. I do not think that this is enough to set up a biosafety authority. We need to employ high caliber scientists. We also need to get very sophisticated equipment to run this authority. I think you need to ask for more money. Being a Member of the Committee, the Chairman is here, we will support that. I support."
