Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. When a Member is appreciated by the Speaker, like what you have done to Hon. Tandaza and my good friend Hon. Owen Baya, they should know they are on the right track because of being appreciated by the third most powerful person in Kenya. I have learnt a lot about bixa and that it is a very important crop.

I have learnt from Hon. Tandaza and Hon. Owen that this crop can scare elephants away. Where I come from, we have lost many people because of human-wildlife conflicts and especially elephants.

We need to realise the benefits of that crop. I know why Hon. Kaluma was very excited when we were talking about lipstick. His other name is ‘Akuku danger’. Now, you know the relationship between this and him.
