"content": " Hon. Temporary Chairman, in as much as we want to have an all-inclusive sector in the coffee industry, I am a bit hesitant to agree with Hon. Gichimu, and I will give a reason. We have had a lot of mess in the coffee co- operative societies because of inept people in the areas of financial management and data collection. All that requires the power of the pen. We need people with education, skills and achievement to run that sector. We are in this problem because we pushed those people to the levels where they could not prove themselves. If we start accommodating them in such sensitive boards, we will still find ourselves in the same problem. I am pro-farmer. I argue for the farmer, but I believe that for us to revamp the coffee sector, then we must put the right people in the right offices. Not every farmer can fit in a board to argue issues like financial management. In as much as we want to accommodate them, let us also be careful so that we do not introduce a problem that will later become another problem. Thank you."
