    "content": "Mr. Temporary Chairperson, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT, the Bill be amended in the Schedule in the proposed amendments to the Kenya Agricultural and Livestock Research Act, 2013 – (a) in the proposed amendment to section 6(1) by deleting sub-paragraph (i) and (ii) in the proposed new paragraph (i) and substituting therefor the following new subparagraphs – (i) one farmer representing the interests of livestock farmers; (ii) one farmer representing the interests of crop farmers; (b) by deleting the proposed amendment to section 6(3). Mr. Temporary Chairperson, Sir, this is where the concerns of Sen. Haji are being taken care of; the composition of Kenya Agricultural and Livestock Research Authority is being changed so that we can include a representative for the interest of livestock farmers and another representative for the crop farmers. The Kenya Agricultural and Livestock Research Act is the act which consolidates all the research institutions in the country under one research authority. As previously composed, there were no farmers representatives in those institutions. The amendment is to bring in farmers representation in the research institutions being created. There is one farmer representing livestock farmers and one representing crop farmers. We are expanding the composition."
