Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. At the outset, I support this Bill by saying that Kenya, having been founded on agriculture as the main source of our economy, we need to harness all crops that require to be part of the scheduled crops. This particular crop, Bixa, is one of the crops that are doing very well especially at the Coast and it has several values. I am not mentioning all of them but things to do with drugs, lipstick, colouring and so on. So, the people of Lamu, Kwale and the coastal region will ...

Thank you. I wanted to speak on the issue of public participation.

But I notice, as I have been following that even in places like Baringo, where we thought that this could not a problem, there are people who have gone to court because of the same public participation. So, you notice that if we do not follow it correctly, because it is in our Constitution, it may end up gagging us or making our process stall because ...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker for allowing me to say something before the Mover is called upon to reply. Coming from a background of workers, teachers and general proletariats, I wish, just like the former speaker has put it, that we support the Government.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I have a lot of respect for the Leader of Majority Party. He is the spokesman of this House. This House is depended upon by every Kenyan including the doctors and nurses in Kenya who are dying because of COVID-19. As we speak in this House, we are actually facing the cameras. Will it be in order, honestly, for a leader who speaks for this House to just equate the fact that doctors and nurses are on strike to a simple election that is going on? The truth is that we are not doing ...
