    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. It is true you ruled that within 10 days of working of Parliament we should submit the Report. The days expire today. Hon. Ottichilo is right in what he is saying. As a Committee, we met over the matter following your ruling and we have a tentative Report, but we realized that it had a slight problem. There was a task force that was set up by the Ministry of Health which deliberated on the same matter and came up with a draft report. The Report of the task force was to be discussed and approved by the Cabinet and that is pending. We summoned the Cabinet Secretary (CS) to appear before us and he gave us an explanation. Our Chairman is not here today because he is in Mombasa representing Parliament in an agricultural forum related to the counties. He is meeting the governors in Mombasa. The Chairman went to see the substantive Speaker, who is well briefed but will unfortunately not be here this week. So, it is a matter we have taken seriously because issues GMO are serious. We will soon get a report from the CS. We can also share with Hon. Ottichilo the draft report by the task force and our own draft report. I am sure his contribution is featured majorly in the reports. We will keep him posted. I believe we will act as soon as possible to sort out this matter. 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."
