    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for this opportunity to speak. I also thank the Chairman, Departmental Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Cooperatives for donating half a minute to me. There is a very important point that I want to raise before this debate is concluded. I support the Bill and the Motion. I also support the Majority Leader when he talks about extending the period for this Bill for one year. This is because as the Chair remembers, and you are my friend on this the ad hoc Committee on Miraa has 90 days to table its report. I have looked at the Crops Act and consulted my brother, Hon. Kareke Mbiuki who has been in the Ministry of Agriculture and he has told me that the Crops Act will collapse once we pass this Bill on agriculture. If my Committee and this House agrees with me among the scheduled crops that should be classified together is miraa. Therefore, I pray that if we also get one year instead of six months then we shall be able to persuade this House to have miraa classified as a scheduled crop so that it can also be part of the crops that will be brought on board in this Bill. Otherwise, I support. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker."
