    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to reply to the debate on the Coffee Bill. The Members of this House have declared coffee as an important crop, and it is grown in 33 counties of Kenya. It occupies about 800,000 small-scale farmers and more than 4,000 districts. The Bill recognises the industry and bestows responsibilities on the county governments, the national Government, the Coffee Board of Kenya and the Coffee Research and Training Institute, among other public institutions. Farmers are waiting for the passage of this Bill. They are waiting for a law on coffee to ease the problems that have been there for a while, because that is a valuable crop to them. Having passed through the Senate, this Bill is at the tail-end of receiving parliamentary approval for us to have a law on coffee that expunges coffee from the Agriculture and Food Authority (AFA) and sets up its own authority.
