"content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister has not told the House what is the problem with Kshs641 million. The amount of Kshs641 million emanated from coffee that was sold during Sale No.41 several years ago. But farmers were not paid that money. The Government 1698 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES June 12, 2007 has bailed out coffee farmers to the tune of Kshs5.8 billion. What the farmers are saying is: \"Before you come to pay debts for us, could you just pay us for the coffee that we have sold?\" Could the Assistant Minister tell the House why the assets of Coffee Board of Kenya should not be disposed of to pay off the Kshs641 million? The Coffee Board of Kenya is now a regulator. It does not need all those assets that it actually using the deductions from the coffee sales. Could the Assistant Minister confirm why, four years down the line, the Government has not been able to settle the Kshs641 million issue?"
