"content": "Lastly, I want to make sure that we have extension services. We are reviving the research areas. One of the speakers at the very beginning mentioned that we should have centres in coffee-growing areas instead of farmers coming all the way to Nairobi. If one has an issue, he or she has to come all the way to Nairobi, which is not right. Some of these things should be localised so that if there is any problem, it can be dealt with in the area. Trans Nzoia was one of the largest coffee-growing areas back in the day because the white settlers who came there grew the crop. One can intercrop coffee with other plants such as maize, wheat and even sunflowers. I want us to take this issue very seriously. The Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Agriculture and Livestock is here. Let us revive the coffee sector for the benefit of our country. With those few remarks, I take this opportunity to support the Bill. I will be among those who will come up with new proposals to revitalise the coffee industry. It is just because of carelessness that the coffee sector today is no more. I support the Bill"
