    "content": "It is not that all these people are troublesome or rude to the AFC but they had given suggestions that they pay the principal amount of money to AFC. As a Committee, we really supported them. If the coffee farmers’ debts are waived, why can the Government not also waive the money they owe the AFC? These people never refused to pay. They accepted to negotiate with AFC that they can pay them and allow them to take a certain portion of their land. So, here, I wanted to remind Members that when they will be talking about this issue they bear in mind that these people have not refused to pay. They only want to pay the principal amount. They cannot pay the interest which amounts to Kshs400 million. Surely, for those people who were one time squatters why can we not waive for them that amount and they pay the principal? We found that these people are not wild to anybody. They are good and understanding. So, we recommended that they only pay the principal amount. So, we want the House to make sure that it approves that recommendation."
