    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I share the same school of thought with Hon. Millie Odhiambo. I did not know that her mother trained as a nurse. My mother also trained as a nurse and a teacher. She heavily supported the use of traditional medicine. I remember when we were young, she would administer the skin of a squirrel or a big rat and that was treatment for whooping cough. It could cure. She is still alive and I hope some scientist in this country could meet her to understand that treatment. I agree that this Bill makes our Constitution more progressive. It advances the need to protect and utilize properly the various seeds and plant varieties that we have in this country. The fundamental question is: Should we place that institution under the Kenya Agricultural and Livestock Research Organisation (KALRO) because it does its own research? That is an institution that will be overseeing research that is done by both public and private entities. I would favour myself if such an institution was placed under Kenya Plant Health Inspectorate Service (KEPHIS) which does not research, so that it is independent of the research work that will be done by KALRO. As well spoken by Hon. Millie Odhiambo, I am also a Member of the Committee of Agriculture, Livestock and Co-operatives and some of the amendments that I would wish to bring is to have that institution elsewhere, but not under KALRO. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I support with amendments."
