    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I rise to support the Bill. I come from a constituency where all the wards have coffee farmers. The unfortunate bit about coffee is that the farmer has become enslaved because of the long chain of middlemen who have encroached on the coffee crop. This Bill is trying to remove that nuisance so that the farmer ultimately becomes the biggest beneficiary of coffee. One of the challenges we have had is that people who act as brokers, marketers, buyers, and sellers are the same people who are setting the price and grading the coffee. That means that, as a farmer, you are unable to know what grade your coffee is. Ideally, this should be separated. This Bill is coming in to ensure that the licensing of brokers and buyers is done separately so that the Capital Markets Authority (CMA), the Board and also the county governments are able to play their roles in terms of licensing.
