    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. From the onset before I support your statement, I want to congratulate my friend, Governor Oparanya, the new Cabinet Secretary for the good job he is doing in the coffee and other subsectors. Madam Temporary Speaker, sorry for saying this, but there is a perception in this country that coffee is only grown in Kenya or Murima. However, coffee is grown across the country, including Nandi, Bungoma, Kakamega, Machakos, Makueni and many other areas. Madam Temporary Speaker, in line with the Coffee Cherry Fund under the Coffee Bill, what are the strategies alongside Kimuri Factory that you have raised to support coffee cooperative societies? For example, in Nandi County, especially Tinderet Sub-county, we have, just to name a few, cooperative societies like Kipsiele, Kapunyeria, Kapulumben, Kaprel, Sarwat and Kapsawas in Aldai Sub-county and across the entire of Nandi County. What are the strategies along Kimuri Coffee Factory in Kairi Village, has the Cabinet Secretary put in place to spur and ensure these coffee cooperative societies across the country are no longer going under or are being declared insolvent? Are they able to support the growth of coffee growth and coffee business across the country, including Kericho, where we have many cooperative societies, like Fort Ternan? I do not know why my teacher, Prof. Tom ojienda is excited today and he just walked in. You know, Kericho is my neighbouring county. In areas like Fort Ternan and Kipkeleon, farmers also grow a lot of coffee. Same to Bungoma and Kakamega counties. What are the strategies? What is the silver bullet? I am happy that the Cabinet Secretary is a former governor. So he understands, it is easy for him to manage what the counties are doing in terms of what is happening in Kimuri and across the nation, so that we can continue. That is my supplementary question. I thank him for supporting Senator Boni Khalwale for governor of Kakamega County. Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker."
