    "content": "protect our seedlings from being moved by wind. This Bill is going to help us protect this copyright and benefit from our indigenous seeds and trees. On the issue of Plant Genetic Resources Research Centre, this is one of the issues that this Bill has clearly stated. This centre is going to encourage research. One of the things that we are lacking in this country is research. No institution of higher learning can bring benefits to the country unless we have researched. Research can make us discover many things that can make our country grow. As a result, we can even export our knowledge outside our country and gain the benefit of research and also discover the curative drugs for the diseases we are getting. This Centre will have advisory Committee to advise farmers on how to protect indigenous seeds and trees. This is one of the advantages of having this centre. It is my prayer that we devolve this centre so that each county can have its own centre to develop these indigenous seeds and plants. We have global warming effects all over the world because of the pollution from industries and market places. The only way we can solve this problem of global warming is by having these indigenous seeds and plants all over so that we get fresh air coming to our homes and environment. We need to encourage these indigenous trees and plants in our country. Desertification is all over because of cutting down trees because of logging and timber business which affects the environment. We need to discourage deforestation. We need to have these indigenous seeds and plants in all areas because they are not easily removed. By doing so, we shall protect our forests. I do not want to emphasise on that. This Bill will help us be proud of our indigenous seeds. It will bring benefit to our counties and our country at large. With those few remarks, I support. Thank you."
