    "content": "forward to the day when Kenyan coffee, tea, and other products will be found on shelves out there in the name of Kenya and not in other names like “English Tea.” Hon. Speaker, I once went to a coffee exhibition in Atlanta when I was a nominated Member in the Ninth Parliament. The manager of Starbucks Coffee came and gave each of us four small cups of different types of coffee. He showed us how to taste the coffee so that we could tell what kind of aroma and taste the coffee had. It is called liqueur, I am told. We all tasted the coffee. The hall was full of Africans. The coffee that tasted sweetest and the one that was ranked third was Kenyan coffee. The following day we were taken to a roasters factory. What shocked us is that Kenyan coffee is blended with other coffees to add taste to other coffees. Unless we recognize that we have the potential to grow and protect the local farmers and producers from unfair trade practices out there, we will never go anywhere. I really want to thank hon. Dr. Laboso and hon. Juma who have made this thing a reality on the Floor. This is because we have never discussed these kind of things for the time that I have been around. We need to go further. Our Members in ACP need to get us into a seminar and take hon. Members through this so that we become active participants in ensuring that we influence the product of the kind of agreements we want to sign. That is why I am now a strong proponent of EAC. It must grow. I believe EAC can become a major trading bloc that will help this country. With those few remarks I beg to second."
