Temporary Deputy Speaker, for allowing me to make a contribution to this. Let me begin by thanking Hon. Tandaza and Hon. Owen Baya for the good work regarding this crop, which is not known to most of us. I am happy that it appears we are going to pass this for you. I must confess that I would want to know more about that crop and I will come to you for lessons because some of the crops that grow along the Coast region do very well in Tharaka. I have an example of cashew nuts which we are trying to improve production in, so that the hustlers of Tharaka can also gain from such cash crops."}
