    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. The Motion by Hon. Ottichilo is wonderful. I did not know that a similar investigation had been done by the Departmental Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Cooperatives. You research to investigate and answer a research problem. You do not do research to pass time. This Motion has clear objectives which are supposed to be achieved. If at all there is a problem in the Departmental Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Cooperatives, in line with the Standing Order No.1, you can exercise your powers and order the Committee to table that report within a week or this afternoon if it is possible. Once we look at that report and see gaps that have not been filled, then the Motion by Hon. Ottichilo will continue. From precedent, a select committee is put in place if a matter is cross-cutting. The matter of GMO is cross-cutting. The Ministry of Health banned GMOs. Therefore, the Departmental Committee on Health has to play a critical role in these investigations. We also need full disclosure why GMOs were banned. My humble request and suggestion is that you order the Departmental Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Cooperatives to table the report this afternoon, if it is available. If possible, we can debate it and if there are any gaps, the select committee proposed by Ottichilo can proceed."
