    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Bill and thank Mr. Mungatana for introducing it. For a long time, farmers in this country have had a problem with the marketing of their crop. We have had lack of assistance anchored in law, not just with respect to coconut but with other crops as well which are very viable, including bananas from Bonchari Constituency. In supporting this Bill, I just noticed on the Second Schedule, the tenure of office for the board is one six-year term. I would like to request my brother Mr. Mungatana to consider a staggered term so that we have some continuity; we do not have the whole board retiring at the same time and then a new one replacing it. On the issue of Clause 28, the investment clause, I find it rather restrictive on the investments that might be available to marketable securities and deposits. He might consider opening it a little bit wider maybe to include properties or as the board may consider fit and suitable. With those few remarks, I beg to support."
