    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker for giving me an opportunity to contribute. I just want to support the nullification of these coffee regulations because they do not support farmers. We are an agricultural society in this country. Most of our products do not go far. They always collapse. Tea is collapsing. Cotton collapsed in Nyanza. Cashew nuts collapsed. We kill our industries by not supporting farmers and actually working against them. This House should come up with laws that protect farmers and anybody else. Bad ones are also supposed to be addressed in this House. Therefore, the nullification of these bad laws that demean or rob the farmer is what we will do because it is our responsibility. Just like most of us in this House, I support the nullification of the law that makes it difficult for farmers to benefit from their sweat. In my view, this should go on and on with other crops because they have collapsed. Farmers have wept and complained because the laws are so bad that they do not empower or benefit them in any way. I support this Motion. I hope the Committee will look at other laws that affect other crops that have really made this country lose so much resources from what used to be in the past very beneficial. Thank you for giving me this opportunity to contribute."
