    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I would not want to appear like I am opposing Dr. Ottichilo. But this is just for the mere fact that the issue of Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) has been exhaustively handled by the Departmental Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Cooperatives. The taskforce that was constituted by the Ministry of Health appeared before the Committee three times. Researchers from the University of Nairobi (UoN) and Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology (JKUAT) appeared before the Committee. The National BioSafety Authority (NBA) also appeared before us twice, if my memory serves me right. Therefore, I think it is a responsibility of this House to use financial resources wisely. If this select committee was identified, it would have put some expenditure before the House. Just like Hon. Serut said, Members of the Departmental Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Cooperatives went to the USA, which includes two Members who have been proposed to be Members of this select committee. They spent two weeks in the USA. They visited another country, which I cannot remember, over the issue of GMOs. We visited two countries to do a comparative analysis.
