    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I get very happy when coffee is mentioned in this House. My Manyatta Constituency has depended on coffee all our lives. We have closed factories since the 1990’s. Some areas used to be very rich. These days people are languishing in poverty because of lack of good prices for coffee. I welcome with open arms the annulment of this draconian law that passed in 2022. It is a shame and we, as the 13th Parliament, have to redeem ourselves on laws passed. I am one of the persons who keenly follows the Office of the Deputy President on issues we have to work with to redeem our farmers that do coffee farming. As we speaking on the coffee caucus, we have realised that everything from the start to the end of coffee trading is opaque. We have to call it out as it is because farmers out there depend on it. The Nairobi Coffee Exchange as constituted has almost zero representation of small-scale traders and farmers. We need to review that and ensure that our farmers are well represented in this coffee trade. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
