    "content": "Clause 69 to 74 of this Bill provide for the establishment of the Coffee Research and Training Institute of Kenya. It will ensure proper research is done on coffee varieties and all aspects of coffee to ensure industry growth. The lack of research on a crop means that it will be stunted. If you have proper research and research institute, then new varieties will come, the upgrade of the crop will come in, and new products will even be established to ensure that this crop, which is important to not only Kenya but also the world, continues to grow and be better. Transitional clauses in this Bill are provided because we want to move the crop from the ambit of AFA to the Coffee Board of Kenya. Therefore, it is very important that we have them. Clause 100 to 107 of the Bill provide for the transition of assets and obligations from AFA with respect to the coffee sector. Legal proceedings are provided, and references are made to written law. The staff of the Coffee Directorate, AFA, and all these people should not feel that they will lose their jobs when this Bill is passed. This law takes care of it properly. No one should be scared that when the Coffee Board of Kenya is set up, they will lose jobs and other things. This Bill has proper transitional clauses to ensure a smooth and seamless movement from AFA to the Coffee Board of Kenya. It is provided in this proposed law.
