    "content": " Before you put the Question, I would like to ask for a bit of clarity, particularly on Clause 8(1)(c) in the original Bill, which states that a person is qualified if they have at least three years' experience, preferably in management in the coffee sector. We all agree that most people who are elected in the villages or local society groups are the only ones with experience. Back then, there were no educational qualifications. They are the only ones who can lead the co-operative societies back in the villages. If I am not elected or did not manage to get elected, and the person who was elected does not have the minimum educational qualifications, where will a farmer in the village get three years of experience, particularly in terms of management? Hon. Temporary Chairman, you posed a very important question. How do we authenticate the management? Do we again go to the farmers and say that we have been able to manage our farms and now we have three years' experience? If the Chairman can convince me on this particular one…The qualification on secondary school education is quite convincing, but this particular one on three years' experience is unnecessary. People out there lose out on jobs because of lack of experience. No."
