    "content": "Coffee trading and marketing are also well captured from Clause 49 to 59 of the Bill, which covers the regulations at the local, national, and international levels in terms of trading patterns and various aspects that need to be regulated and licensed. The management of the exchange and settlement of farmers in terms of payment has also been captured very well in this Bill. Quality assurance has also been very well captured in terms of ensuring compliance with the quality standards at various levels through inspection and controls. This has been captured from Clause 60 to 62 of the Bill. Financial provisions in the coffee industry have also been very well captured. The Bill specifies various types of funding, including mid-level development, which has been very well specified, and routine audits, which secure the Fund to ensure it has done the right thing. This is captured from Clause 63 to 68. Coffee Research and Training Institute, which I mentioned, has also been very well taken care of, focusing on coffee research and training based in Kiambu, where it has always been, towards the production and dissemination of technologies, innovations, and management practices. Finally, the Coffee Bill talks about the financial provisions of the Institute, which are provided for, and the miscellaneous and transitional arrangements. Transitional arrangements are necessary because there are staff in the Coffee Directorate. These staff members and the property or assets and liabilities of the coffee sector will need to transit from AFA to the Coffee Board of Kenya. The transitional arrangements are captured very well from Clause 92 to 107. That is the extent to which the Bill goes."
