"content": "down and eat all the omena and ugali that you have and still be able to cut weight. So, it is really selling in the USA. Just out of curiosity and, of course, for practical purposes, I went round asking for it, but it is not available in Kenya! I am saying this because what you are likely to see is that the USA is going to get out the chemical that is responsible for the reduction of the weight and patent it. Very soon it will not be available in Kenya. What is the implication to the coffee farmer in Kenya? It means that if you want to plant coffee, or extract that specific product then you will have to get permission from the USA as a coffee farmer in Kiambu. So, hon. Deputy Speaker, this is something that I will put before my Committee, that is the Departmental Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Co-operatives. As a matter of urgency Kenya must protect the intellectual property rights of our farmers to the benefits in the green berry coffee. I want to advise the Mover of this Motion that for now I will abstain from supporting it, if he bring back in six mothsâ time â it is really noble â it will strengthen our devolved units. At that time I will be in a position to very bravely support it. Otherwise, for now I abstain from supporting it."
