    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Motion on Ratification of the East African Community Protocol on Sanitary and Phytosanitary Measures. In 2012, I was the Assistant Minister in the Ministry of Higher Education, Science and Technology and we were involved in some of these policies, especially in the enactment of the Biosafety Bill and Biosafety Act. We also realigned KEPHIS rules and combined them, so that the two institutions can work in harmony to ensure that plants and animal products are safe. We did it with some NGOs that are normally used for research. I support the Motion. The heads of the partner States met in a Summit in Arusha and ratified this Protocol. Our work is to enhance what they did by making sure that this Protocol is approved by the House, so that they can come up with relevant Bills which can operationalise it. 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."
