    "content": "utmost political goodwill. This is what we are riding on to ensure that we do all the nine Bills that we will be putting before this House. This will ensure that farmers in this country will never again regret being farmers. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, to dignify the farmers, we will need nothing short of paying them the rightful money in the right time and amount. It is very unfortunate that in this country, even farmers who export their products do not know when they will be paid because they use brokers. As we know, brokerage is weakly regulated in this country. We want to put in place a coffee board that will regulate the coffee sector. This is by ensuring that when the coffee is brought together, consumers or buyers of coffees come, walk in and pick the grade and quantity of coffee they want, so that farmers can to attract top dollars. It is, therefore, my prayer to this House that we support this and many other Bills that will be coming from the Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries. In the next two to three years, farmers of this country will know that they have put into place a Government that is mindful of their plight. Additionally, the multiple harambees that we have been doing to ensure that children go to schools and people go to hospital, will be no more. This is because our farmers will be empowered and people will have a higher purchasing power. Therefore, they can access the kind of education and medical services that they need. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I support."
