    "content": "trade is not going to support women and the youth. Is it going to suppress our agriculture sector? What does it mean for our very valuable contribution to the world in, say, wildlife management? Kenya has stuck out more than any other country in the world - and I can say that with confidence - to protect her wildlife. How does this facilitation of trade, for example, imply for the movement of tusks and other things that Kenya would consider illicit, which is not what the whole world shares? I would request that next time as Ministries come to us, we should ask them to do due diligence and give us the benefits and the downside. We can then assign probability to the downside and say, “okay, although we have downsides, the chances that they will occur are small, but they may not be that small,” so that we can make an informed judgement as a House. While I support this, I am just concerned that there is an element of haste because of the slowness with which the major Government Departments dealt with it. But the House ought to be aware that those things have implications for some of the things that we hold dear. This needs to be spelt out, so that the House is better informed in passing those kinds of submissions."
