    "content": "Finally, the financial provisions for this Bill are well thought out. The proposed Clause 59 creates the coffee development levy. This means that automatically, 0.5 percent is going to the county, which is a very good thing. As Senators, many times we forget that our business here is to protect and help counties to grow. It would be very wrong if a country produces a lot of coffee but gets nothing for everything it is doing. I am happy that 0.5 percent of this coffee development levy has been given to coffee- producing counties. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, they have also given one percent to the Institute. I see my time is almost up, but as I finalise, I urge all Members who will speak to this Bill, to support it. I especially urge them to realise that we have attached the agenda for change as the Kenya Kwanza Government to actual legislative work, so that we are not just talking. We mean business and the transformation of this country and we mean to help our people grow. Even after the exit of our President, we will still have the legacy of having changed the coffee industry for the rest of our foreseeable future. I fully support this Bill. Thank you."
