    "content": "When we were young, we were taught that the best cash crops and foreign exchange earners in Kenya were coffee, pyrethrum, cotton and tea. All of a sudden, the coffee industry was captured by cartels and run down to the ground until many farmers turned their coffee trees into firewood. The nullification of these regulations as recommended by the Committee should serve as an eye-opener to the current Government, and more so the Ministry officials who propose subjective regulations to favour their stay in office or enhance their cartels. What are regulations? Regulations are subsidiary laws that help in operationalization of Acts of Parliament. However, it does not mean in any way that a set of draft regulations emanating from a Ministry should contradict its mother Act of Parliament or the Constitution. The draft regulations that were approved by this House in the wee hours of the last Parliament contradict its mother Act of Parliament as well as the Constitution of Kenya."
