    "content": "Hon. Temporary Speaker, I support the annulment of these kinds of punitive regulations. This should serve as a warning to ministries which propose changes in an Act of Parliament through regulations. The same caution goes to independent commissions such as the Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC) and many other constitutional offices. They change the rule of the game at the wee hours of Parliament to ensure that they run away with regulations that do not favour the citizens of this country. Farmers, most of whom constitute the bottom layer of our society, and the have-nots, are trying to grow their coffee so that they can send their children to school. The school fees of the children who are outside this House, and those who are currently seated in the galleries, are paid by farmers. The 13th Parliament must actually rise to the occasion to defend the voiceless farmers who grow coffee and other crops. Baringo County has the best coffee in the world. It is grown in Kipsaraman, Kabartonjo and Kituro. This is the game changer. It fetches the highest prices across the world. As I support this particular Motion, I want these regulations to be the last subsidiary law to be fronted by Government officials who punish the ordinary citizens who are trying to grow their economies."
