    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Bear with me because my voice is a bit unbalanced. However, I am very excited. I have been waiting for the ruling concerning these pieces of legislation that were passed in the previous Parliament. As you have rightly put it, there were procedures that were not properly followed. Therefore, I want to inform you that some of those pieces of legislation that were passed have adversely affected the way we do things, especially in some sectors. We have a Coffee Caucus in this Parliament. I believe that one of the issues that made Members of Parliament to come together to discuss coffee issues is a certain legislation that was passed during the 12th Parliament that adversely affected the way we trade and manage coffee. We are very excited with your ruling. We look forward to see better ways of handling issues, more so correction of mistakes that were made as errors of omission or commission, so that we give farmers the rightful share of the returns of their crop. Hon. Speaker, I am talking about the coffee issue because it is in the public domain. Some regulations were passed here without following the correct procedures. Hence farmers, traders, millers and growers have been complaining. I hope from today onwards, we will provide a solution. I thank you for giving me the opportunity to comment."
