    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I wish to thank the Members for the enormous support for this important Motion on the Ratification of the East African Protocol on Sanitary and Phytosanitary Measures. The adoption of this Motion is extremely critical for the standardisation of all aspects of the agricultural sector within the EAC. It is unfortunate that Kenya, despite being the super power within the East African region, is trailing Uganda and Rwanda in the ratification of this Protocol. It is not too late. I strongly believe that as a country, we are going to meet the 30th June deadline. I also wish to thank Members of the Departmental Committee of Agriculture, Livestock and Cooperatives for the tireless effort they put to ensure that we come up with this Report and table it in this House as well as joining other Members in support of this important Motion. I wish to reiterate that Kenya is one of the countries that have championed the processing of this Protocol. It will benefit Kenyans greatly as well as members of the other States in the region. In a very special way, I want to appreciate the role played by the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries as well as KEPHIS which were extremely instrumental in processing this Protocol. With those few remarks, I wish to thank the Membership of this House for supporting this important Motion."
