Bw. Spika, miaka michache iliyopita, kulikuwa kukiingizwa unga wa manjano hapa nchini wakati kulikuwa na njaa. Lakini kulikuwa na wasi wasi sana miaka hio. Watu walisema eti hiyo ilikuwa chakula ya ng’ombe, mbuzi na mambo kama hayo. Sasa wakati huu, huku tukiwa na baa la njaa, wananchi wanataka kujua: Je, hii chakula ya GMO iko sawa kwa wananchi kutumia ama vipi ? We want an authoritative Government statement on this matter.

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to, first of all, congratulate Eng. Gumbo for moving this very important Motion. It is a very timely Motion.

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, in the current hunger crisis that we have had in parts of Kenya, we have seen efforts being made to get the food to some areas. In some areas, the challenge has been distribution. We have seen many trucks breaking down on the way and, from where we stand, distribution is the main challenge in this programme. We have not seen the Government reaching those far off places with these facilities for the girl child. Many NGOs have been involved in this kind of work, but it is not enough to leave this work to ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, Committees of Parliament operate as agents of the principal. The principal is this open House. Now we are seized of this matter as the House. It would be wrong for us to be dragged back to the Committee, when, indeed; the House is ready and willing to execute, as the principal, the arguments and things that need to be done at the level of Second Reading.

Hon. Mwau, the Chair agrees with the Minister that the reservations that you have raised will, in fact, not, in any way, be negated by the inclusion of the Association of Professional Societies of East Africa (APSEA). Further, I want to bring to your notice the fact that if you wished to amend the Memorandum from His Excellency the President on the Salaries and Remuneration Commission Bill, or any other Memorandum, there is a whole constitutional procedure, which would have involved you in circulating a notice for all Members of Parliament to have a look. You would also have to ...
