    "content": "Hon. Speaker, Sir, the other issue that was also raised at that time was that of merging all these sectors, which have nothing in common, and some of them were even dying. One of the biggest concerns at that time was that the Pyrethrum Board of Kenya was also being merged. At the same time, the then Minister for Agriculture had brought a paper to the Cabinet proposing to sell off all the assets of Pyrethrum Board of Kenya. Then we asked, “How will you merge this pyrethrum with all these other groupings while already you are winding up the Pyrethrum Board of Kenya?” So, we realized that we were being coerced into passing the Bill. Hon. Speaker, Sir, if I remember correctly, we did not come to a consensus. So, as I support the Bill, I plead with the Chairman, I want to ask him not just to apply for consent but to re-look at the Bill in total because it is not going to help the farmers of this country and Kenyans who form over 80 per cent of the population. So, I would like to ask him to seek leave to repeal this Bill so that we can sit down again and re-look at it. It was felt that it was not necessary but some people were just trying to build a name for them at that time. Thank you, hon. Speaker."
