The Nagoya Protocol, an international agreement that governs the conditions for the export of genetic resources and has been incorporated into Kenyan law, requires communities to give prior informed consent on the use of resources and an agreement between whoever is taking them, the Government and the community, on how the benefits should be shared.

Asante Bw. Spika. Nami pia naunga mkono hoja hii. Naona kama yote yamesemwa. Ni ukweli vijana wetu wanateseka sana. Vijana wale wamejiunga na vyuo vikuu wanapata shida kujiandikisha kufanya mitihani kwa sababu ya kukosa vitambulisho. Ningeomba watoto wote wapewe vitambulisho kwa usawa.

Mumma kwa kuleta huu Mswada ambao ni ...
