    "content": "Again, as regards to this particular crop, we need to support it. It needs to be marketed properly. We also need to have experiments of where else that crop can do well. As I have said, I believe that it can do well in Tharaka. It may do well in Kipipiri, Gilgil and in other semi-arid areas. This is a crop that may help the economy of this country, whose backbone is agriculture. There is nothing else that we do which is as productive in the country as agriculture. We must, therefore, support the Crops Act, an amendment similar to this one, and the regulations that are being made in respect of each of those crops. We are trying to decentralise the crops from the Crops Act to individual Acts. We have the Tea Act, the Coffee Act and possibly, we will have a Ndengu Act and any other Act that may help improve the production of agricultural crops in the country. With those remarks, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to support this Bill."
