    "content": "House. When lawmakers come together, they solve challenges facing a country. This evening, we are seeing Sen. Wambua, the Senator for Kitui County, come up with a Bill which is going to address so many other challenges and be part of the issues Kenya is dealing with as a country. I start by noting that the mung bean is actually a very important type of legume, which is very popular even among the members of the Adventist family, which is the Seventh Day Adventist faithfuls. We are encouraged to partake in this high protein content legume, which, as a plant, has several other benefits. When I check, it contains benefits, which support pregnant mothers, children and lactating mothers. It is a very good opportunity for women across the country once county governments embrace this crop as a cash crop. Even for the smallholder farmers, it is going to open up so many other avenues for women, young people and children to benefit. There is a clause where the Senator proposes a committee to be established. I hope that there will be representation of women and young people in that committee. In registering farmers, the process needs someone who is keen and with attention to detail. I have a radical proposition on that clause. Young people should be given priority in this Bill. This is because when implementing Bills that have been assented to, women and young people are overlooked. The excuse given for this is that the law was silent on the matter."
