    "content": "I would like to add that the coastal crops have suffered in this country. Cashew nuts and coconut have suffered because there was no deliberate investment in crops at the Coast. So, today the factory in Kilifi is closed and farmers are cutting down the trees. There is no investment in research or investment in capital in the crops from the Coast. Families which used to do well because of these crops are no longer benefiting from them and have slid back to poverty. It is important that we do not just focus on certain regions. This Parliament talks about coffee, tea and sugar, but it never looks at the crops at the Coast. There are no deliberate programmes. I ask this House to be the one that has, for once, looked at the Coast region and said: “Yes, we can help farmers at the Coast.”"
