    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we have the fauna and flora. We want to align the laws governing the flora with the Constitution. It is my understanding that the Ministry of Livestock will have the opportunity to align the section that deals with livestock with the Constitution. I think they have the capability to do so. So, may I beg the House again, recognizing the fact that the Bill is the property of the House and the House can choose what to do with it--- I still feel that to make progress for us and avoid the angst that has come up constantly in the media, which we know where it is fueled from, and has made its way here--- We are very clear about the laws on agriculture as far as farming is concerned and are anxious to align this with the Constitution, so that when we get round to the counties next year, we shall not be found wanting. I am sure that whoever will be the Chief Executive will, indeed, choose how to put those Ministries together. For us, it is the laws that we seek to change. If there is more time, we will explain to you why we are changing. We will not touch the laws that involve livestock. This is to avoid the problems that we face. We are capable of doing the ones that govern our agricultural sector, as far as that section that has to do with crops and agriculture, outside of livestock is concerned. That is all we seek to do. We have changed the title, which we have done at the Committee, to exclude livestock because the Committee and that Ministry will be responsible for the livestock sector. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, can I go on?"
