    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Motion going by the fact that Lamu West is producing the largest quantity of cashew nuts. However, this not our full capacity because we have enough land. We have willing farmers in Coast region all the way from Kwale, Kilifi, Lamu and even Tana River. The soils are good and the weather is okay but, we do not have the support from the national Government even in terms of research so that we get the best seedlings that will give good yields. If we have to help Coast region and more so the cashew nut growing farmers, we need to support the research base. The national Government also needs to support us with finances, which will help farmers get incentives like fertilizers, farm tools and storage facilities. We also need the Government to provide ready market. As the Member for Kilifi North, Bwana Owen, has mentioned, we have a challenge with middlemen. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker---"
