    "content": "One of the greatest problems that I appreciate that this Bill seeks to cure is the challenges that coffee farmers are facing in this country. The person who buys coffee from the factory disappears in a way no one can question. The moment it leaves the factory gate, at that point in time, farmers are 100 per cent separated from the coffee which they farmed. Their hope is a stranger whom they know nothing about and many times, their leaders are compromised. Farmers have despaired over the years and refused to farm coffee. One problem is that once the coffee leaves the factory, the person who stores, mills, markets, grades and auctions is the same. When it is being auctioned, the same person buys it using a different name or company. We must cure that predicament that coffee farmers are facing. We must separate the duties at every stage so that the person who transports does not store, mill, market, auction or buy it. I am happy we have introduced the issue of regulation through the Capital Markets Authority (CMA) so that the Nairobi Coffee Exchange is properly regulated like other exchange markets in the country. Thay way, we will not have people short- circuiting the process."
