    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for this opportunity. I rise to add my voice to this debate in support of the amendments. For me, what this tells us as a House is that, we now have an opportunity to make laws that we shall not regret tomorrow. If you look at some of the challenges we are faced with, it is because of the manner in which certain Bills were passed in the last Parliament which, today, are coming to haunt us. A good Bill or a good law that we have in mind is the current Constituencies Development Fund (CDF) 2013. So, in terms of looking at what we need to do in the agriculture sector, hon. Members have raised their concerns and I do add my voice that we need to give a closer look at the issues raised so that, as we develop the Agriculture Bill 2013, we take into considerations all the key issues. Finally, on the globe, countries are moving towards specialization. It will be very sad if Kenya, as country, we are trying to address food insecurity and unemployment and we are actually killing institutions that will offer that kind of opportunities and trying to lump all agricultural products under one body. I do not think that will drive us towards competitiveness. I beg to support and thank you."
