    "content": "who extort Kenyans with witchcraft. There is a difference between witchcraft and using plants of medicinal value. That is what companies that make millions of dollars use; they use plants that they get from Africa. I was surprised that, for the first time in Kenya, we were very proud when we hosted the World Trade Organisation (WTO) meeting which took place in Africa for the very first time. If it was held in India, farmers would have burned themselves because of poor conditions that are set by WTO, in relation to plants and other conditions placed by international communities, in relation to access, especially to our plants. I know other Members want to speak and so, I will not go on. I have the advantage of sitting in the Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Co-operatives. Therefore, I will be pushing certain amendments which I think are fairly cosmetic. We need to do a much broader and comprehensive amendment of the legislative framework in relation to indigenous plants and knowledge of the beneficial properties of those plants that have been passed from generations to generations by our grandfathers. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I support only with amendments."
