    "content": "I was reading the legislation that was available at that time in the 1960s and 1970s; I have discovered that a Coffee and a Tea Director were very senior people who could not even be touched by the District Commissioner (DC). They were even given security of tenure, but they sat in these offices and forgot about the plight of the farmers. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, when you include in such a Council that, from time to time, you shall invite members who have interest in this Council. These members will then come and give their views – it is not even a must that they vote – but just by speaking to these Council members and reminding them why they are in office every now and then, then we can redeem our agricultural sector that has been ailing for far too long. With those many thoughts, I beg to support this Bill. I propose to the Mover and the Drafter as well to bear in mind the various contributions that have been made by different Senators as they retreat to draft. The reason we go through this phase of a legislative process is so that we can also share our thoughts and enrich your proposal. Like they say, a good idea must always give way to a better idea. This Bill is a good idea, but the proposals that have come from colleague Senators are even far much better ideas. It is my sincere hope and wish that the Mover of this Bill will encompass and include these deliberations in the Bill. Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir."
