"content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, during cross pollination of a plant, pollen grains come from the plant whose seed you have already genetically-modified. The seed produces the plant with the roots and the roots get nutrients from the soil. That cycle is the delicate part of the soil that we July 5, 2006 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 1835 are looking at. We are not looking at bottle experiments here. That is why we would like the Government, through the Ministry of Agriculture, to come up with a policy to guide our farmers on farming methods. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, why are we not comfortable with the research which is done by the Kenya Seed Company (KSC)? We can use organic methods to grow food. Genetically-modified plants produce pollen grains, which are transmitted, communicated or spread by wind, birds, human beings and insects. So, Prof. Olweny, who has done research on plant pathology, should have had this knowledge before he stood on the Floor to advise me on what I know!"
