    "content": "Every community in Kenya, Africa and the world has an environment that people can adapt to if it is protected. Our indigenous knowledge is very rich and we need to protect it. We need to have foods that can build our bodies. We are now experiencing obesity in children, women and men. It causes a lot of health problems. We now have cancer and we are yet to know whether it is caused by the types of food that we eat now. We have diabetes which is a lifestyle disease. We need to know how to counter it using indigenous knowledge, food and medicines. We have seen herbal food supplements and medicines from China. They are processed and packaged very well and we are using them in Kenya. So, we need to have that centre so that we can do the same. We can use our foods that can build our bodies and use medicines originating from our plants. As it is now, we have destroyed our environment. Our indigenous trees and plants are gone. So, we have to salvage the few seeds that are still available so that we can grow them in that center and use them to regenerate our environment. When you look at the case of Galana where we are experimenting growing various foods, we did not even test whether the crops that we are growing there are adaptable to that environment. I think we should have done a pilot study first before going there in full swing to The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
