    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the Seeds and Plant Varieties (Amendment) Bill. This Bill is important because it recognises the importance of seeds, inclusion of food and other plant materials that are important. This Bill also supports the possibility of preservation of germplasm. This helps because plant materials and what we have within our environment support the livelihood to a large extent. We recognise the importance of these genetic materials in various aspects like in medicine and various food types. This preservation is also important for preservation of our heritage. The plant materials are part of our heritage. The preservation of seeds supports our very essence as a people. We have some important plants or crops that have never been recognised like Miraa which received the recognition by the President the other day. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
