    "content": "There is a plant which I see all over the country. I see it in Busia, Rift Valley, Mount Kenya and all the way to the Coast. I can defend it because I have seen it. That tree produces some sap which, when applied, cures various ailments. There is a disease that normally attacks the finger and damages the nail. It is, sometimes, very difficult to treat it using common medicine. When you apply that sap, it does not even take one night before the finger is healed. Those are the kinds of trees that we need to protect. We need to patent them so that whoever wants them from outside the country will have to purchase them. That will bring money our way. We need to preserve our seeds and plants and propagate them so that we do not lose them. This is a very good Bill. Just recently, we had a Bill on the protection of traditional knowledge and traditional cultural expression and another Bill on climate change. The rate at which the National Assembly is enacting legislation in relation to our environment and conservation is very impressive. I support the Bill."
