    "content": "Mr. Temporary Chairperson, Sir, I beg to move:- That the Schedule be amended by – (a)deleting the tenth row that provides for “Genetic material”; and, (b) deleting the eleventh row that provides for “Genetic Resources”. The reason for deleting these two lines from the Schedule is that we heard many presentations from all professionals – universities and research institutions – and they gave us a lot of information on the dangers of restricting the way research is done on genetic materials and resources. I do not think it is even worthwhile to go through a lot of discussion on this matter. The truth is that if we put the requirement that a student wanting to do some research on a new genetic material has to apply to Parliament, then we may as well have thousands of applications every year for us to deal with on subject matters that are being researched on. My committee did not find this being progressive for this country. I noticed that the same matter is being proposed by Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr., just in the same way as my Committee and brought it forward. I beg to move."
