    "content": " Madam Temporary Speaker, I am yet to get those statistics given by Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale. I can prove my own statistics. There is no differential. I have said clearly that in other regions, there are people who take advantage of farmers. They go straight to the farmers, buy coffee cherries from them, process the same and bring it to NCE and sell at a high price. That is why I advise the two Members of Parliament (MPs) that they should educate to those farmers. Tell the farmers that there is a Cherry Fund. So, there is no need for them to be in a hurry. As soon as you have your cherries, there is a fund where you can make an application from any Co-operative Bank. You just fill the form. After it is proved that the cherries are with you, you will be paid a minimum of Kshs50 per a kilogramme of cherries before they are taken for milling and eventually auction. When it is auctioned, you are paid within five days. Those are part of the reforms that the Ruto Government has undertaken. Within five days, they pay you minus the Kshs50 per kilogramme that you received in advance. I do not see how a farmer can accept to sell coffee cherries at Kshs30 when already there is a Cherry Fund that can give them Kshs50. I do not believe that."
