    "content": "While responding to that question, also using your system as the co-ordinator of Government Ministries, could you apprehend the following motor vehicles, which are now between Mombasa and Nairobi: KAZ 603C, lorry; KBK 980L, lorry, and KBG 221D of M/s Sanghani, with 720 bags of maize, clearly marked “GMO” and destined for Isiolo? Finally, are you aware that both MON810 and NK623 and a cross breed of the same in the trials that were conducted in Vienna, mice fed on a diet of over 30 per cent of that variety, for three generations did not reproduce? In all cases the epithelium of the intestines or the intestines had thickened up to double in all the varieties. Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is important because there is a possibility that human beings can also be affected and their fertility affected. They will need at least 18 years to 21 years to see whether their physiology and reproduction has been affected. That is why the test on mice is important. I would also like to state here that you have misled the House specifically and generally on GMO because I am going to table a series of documents one after another, demonstrating that, indeed, in this country people have applied for GMO and it has been received. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I will start with why GMO is regulated because we are signatories to the Cartagena Protocol. The Protocol demands that you must disclose that this is GMO and all of it must pass through a clearing house. This is not just a place of documents; they are laboratories where results can be compared and various observations approved or tested before it can finally be allowed for human consumption. You have said it in a very candid way and you are right that such information must be well printed on the containers---"
