    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, I stand here to oppose this Bill. I have very good reasons to do so. Some of us have a great and long experience on certain operations in this country. When I look at this Bill, it is taking us back to where we are coming from. We had parastatals which were a bottomless hole for sacking and squandering public funds. The international community, to be able to assist this country, had to force this country to privatize some of the parastatals. Madam Temporary Speaker, in my county, I have farmers who grow coffee. There was a board known as Coffee Board of Kenya. Today, it exists by name but it has never benefited any Kenyan in all areas of this country where coffee is grown. What it did at the end of the day is to use the powers conferred to that board to license straight dealers and thieves who started, not only buying the coffee from the farmers, but by sending and recruiting thieves in the villages to harvest coffee at night and sell to them in the morning. With that, coffee does not count at any given time in the areas where it is grown. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate"
