Speaker, allow me to bring out an issue which in the region I come from has been used by some of us to peddle lies to the common mwanachi, that for us to pass this Bill, we must check whether it contains issues of milk, coffee and tea. This morning I engaged a colleague and reminded him that there was a time milk, tea and coffee were doing very well. I asked him which Constitution addressed the three income generating activities. They never saw anything of that sort in the Constitution that we changed. We never saw anything written about milk, coffee and tea in that Constitution. But in this one, there is a provision in Clause 11A on the economy and shared prosperity, which, among other issues, under 11A(2)(c) talks about sustainable sources of livelihood, including agriculture, pastoralism and the blue economy. At the tail end of the Article, it says that Parliament shall enact legislation to give full effect to this Article. I have brought this issue up because when we were discussing the Tea Bill, coffee and agriculture in general, the same people who had gone out there to say there is nothing that addresses the main income generating activities within our region were not in this House. I invite them to pass this Bill so that we can amend the Constitution. Further, if they will be lucky to get back to The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
