    "content": "The days when coffee had money, the Coffee Board of Kenya (CBK) of the day used to produce our coffee here in industrial area. All of us know Kahawa No.1, KK Kahawa and such. I do not want to go there because we will be getting to the Coffee Bill soon. Today we are on the mung bean. This is what we must support. I believe strongly that we must move into areas of value addition. Let us get rice from Mombasa County. Just look at the nutrients of the mung bean or Google if you do not know. There is nothing you need for school feeding--- Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, we can get rice from the peasant farmers in Mwea and mung beans from Kitui County and other places. Instead of giving our children complicated food in the school feeding programme, just mix mung bean and rice and feed them. It is absolutely nutritious food. We should go that direction. The moment we go there, perhaps some neighbouring country might say: “Send over to us that thing that you are giving your children.” This will be a package or a brand and not just mung bean. It will not just be Basmati rice but a brand, which will then create employment for our people. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I know many of my colleagues would like to contribute to this Bill. I support and I urge all of us to support. My county is a producer of mung beans. That is why I support and salute Sen. Wambua’s initiative. This is the direction to go. This is how you think about your people but also think about mine across the river, who you have enriched what they do. I beg to support."
