"content": "Secondly, there is the issue of farmers in this country. The President mentioned the removal of levies on coffee. This is insignificant. It cannot do anything to the farmers. The coffee subsector has almost collapsed. Farmers in the sugar sector, whom my brother, Hon. Washiali and I represent, are affected. There is nothing meaningful which is being put in place to ensure that farmers’ interests are protected. Mumias Sugar Company and Nzoia Sugar Company have similar problems of mismanagement, theft of money and non-payment of farmers. This has led to rise of poverty. Our people are not even able to pay school fees. Farmers are not able to meet their obligations. They are putting in a lot of effort, making contributions and nothing happens to them. These are issues which ought to have been addressed as opposed to Members praising the President. It is not in order for this to happen."
