    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, pursuant to Standing Order No.47(1), I rise to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries concerning the imminent ban, by the Government, on the use of animal manure in crop farming. In the Statement, the Committee should- (1) Explain why the Government, through the proposed Food Crops Regulations made pursuant to Crops Act, 2013, intents to ban farmers from using animal manure in the production of food crops and state the rationale behind the move. (2) Explain what scientific study informs this decision. (3) State what measures have been deployed by the Government to ensure free agricultural extension services to farmers. (4) State whether the proposed ban is at the behest of big multinationals keen to force Kenyans to buy their products or is geared towards benefiting cartels importing fertiliser into the country. (5) Explain how the proposed ban sits with the organic farming which is known to be a safe practice and is now being encouraged the world over. I thank you."
