"content": "Secondly, I just want to remind the House and hon. Members that at one time we had the coffee boom. Coffee was a leading foreign exchange earner sometime in this country. The earnings that we got from coffee at that time were used to put up educational facilities, commercial centres and infrastructure like roads. Indeed, the Great North Road was a beneficiary of money earned from coffee. For those of us who went to school around that time we had the coffee boom, we were supported in payment of school fees by coffee produce."

"content": "At the same time, I want to associate myself with the sentiments of hon. Kabogo when he says that farmers who have had coffee for a long time are uprooting it in favour of real estate. That is only happening where we are very close to commercial centres and the City. In the far flung areas where coffee is still grown, people are suffering because they still have the crop, but they experience the weight of the debts, so that they do not get enough proceeds from the bonus that comes from the sale of the crop. As I conclude, I want to state that other than the debts that we have, we need to create a situation where we can weed out brokers in the tea and coffee sectors. Once we are done with them, the direct benefits to the farmers will increase. That may not be done today, but I intend to bring a Motion to deal with that sector."
