    "content": "Hon. Deputy Speaker, this is a classic case of stone-walling, filibustering and procrastination on the part of the Departmental Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Cooperatives. Even the accusation that it will not be prudent use of public resources does not stand. In fact, the biggest misuse of public resources has been occasioned by the Departmental Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Cooperatives that has delayed this matter up to now. There must be something they are avoiding. They are going to try and cynically misuse Standing Orders to delay the eventuality. The Departmental Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Cooperatives can run but it cannot hide. There is something it is hiding. The Committee will have to tell us what it is hiding and on whose behalf. It is trying to avoid a conclusive end to this matter about GMOs. The Committee is doing Kenya a disservice and yet it is composed of elected and responsible Members of this House. The Committee is supposed to act expeditiously in the interest of the Kenyan people. It has failed hence Hon. Dr. Ottichilo’s proposal to form this select committee, which you are avoiding and trying to run away from. The Committee Members are using many words and accusing Hon. Ottichilo of trying to misuse public funds. They cannot transfer their guilt to Dr. Ottichilo. Hon. Deputy Speaker, it is time the Chair took serious steps against this lazy Committee called “the Departmental Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Cooperatives”.
