    "content": "(Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Sen. (Dr.) Musuruve, I am sure the relevant Chairpersons heard you. You work with the Chairpersons and if you need the intervention of the Speaker to further work with the Committee, the rules allow you. So, we leave it at that. As a result of the interventions by Sen. Wetangula, Sen. Khaniri, Sen. Ochillo- Ayacko and Sen. (Prof.) Ongeri, I am inclined to allow a few observations on any of the statements, including, the statement around the use of animal manure. Once again, I plead with Committees to, sometimes, help us by taking some of these things which are in the public domain even before they come to the House. Secondly, even when a matter like this is raised by a Member, it is up to the Committee to look at the sensitivity of the matter and deal with it in an appropriate way even without the prompting of the Speaker. I was surprised the other day to hear that, for example, there are proposals to ban farmers from selling milk to their neighbours, which is a tradition in this country for many years. If you have cows, you can supply milk to the teachers who teach in the local primary school and they pay at the end of the month; sometimes you share for free. I am told now there are regulations to make it illegal to sell milk to your neighbour. I am wondering whether the Wanjiku in the village will be able to sell milk to multinationals and big milk processing companies only. So, I will allow a few comments. There are so many requests. We have 15 minutes according to the Standing Orders. Therefore, I will give three minutes each to the first five speakers who will be lucky. I will try to be as fair as possible. Proceed, Sen. (Prof.) Kamar."
