    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, let me join my colleagues in commending Dr. Ojiambo for a job well done. It is my sincere hope that His Excellency the President will move with speed and give assent to this important Bill, so that it can be put into effect. It is a pity that this Bill has been on the shelves for the last three years and we have not taken full advantage of the Africa Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA). We should have done so a long time ago. It is my sincere hope that the Ministry of Agriculture will move with speed and move away from workshop. They should go out there and give support, because I know there has been a lot of work that has been put into research. We would like that put into practice, so that our farmers can get on with the business of growing more cotton. I happen to know that cotton growing is also a very good mechanism of reducing the infestation of striga which is a weed that inhibits the growth of maize, particularly in the areas where we come from. So, by promoting the growing of cotton, we shall be actually tackling the issue of a very stubborn weed in the name of striga . Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, with those few remarks, I beg to support."
