    "content": "On matters agriculture, I have looked at the allocation to the tea sector to ascertain how much has been added but I have been informed that the benefits to tea farmers will be on the allocation to fertilisers. In the coffee sector, Ksh4 billion is a good allocation that will support reforms and coffee farmers. We grow coffee in Kericho but farmers had abandoned coffee farming because of low income. With the increment in allocation, I am sure coffee farmers will smile all the way to the bank. I feel that more money should have been allocated to tea farming. On the milk sector, the New Kenya Co-operative Creameries (KCC) has been added Ksh1.5 billion. This is an important increment as many small and large-scale farmers will benefit. The education sector has been allocated Ksh700 billion, which is a great achievement. We are investing for today and tomorrow. I appreciate the Committee for that. I will not forget the money allocated to affirmative action, which is more for sanitary towels. This will be a plus, especially now that distribution of sanitary towels is not domiciled in the Ministry of Education but in the Ministry of Gender, Culture, the Arts and Heritage. That is a good allocation. Finally, I believe that the implementation of this Supplementary Budget will be done to the letter. Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker."
