    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for this opportunity. I would like to support this Motion because coconut, as we are all aware, has many by-products which we use at home. Some of the products are used for construction and roofing. Coastal hotels that are roofed by makuti are normally very attractive, cool and environmentally friendly. Food made out of coconut oil and milk is always highly appreciated and we love it. There is so much that coconut does to us in terms of food and medicine. We need to promote the plant. It is unfortunate that over the years not much has been done towards the coconut plant. Not much funds have been given out to produce more coconut plants or to give farmers enough resources to plant and expand the industry just like other sectors. We find that at the Coast, coconut is the major economic mainstay. In Central region, we have coffee, miraa, potatoes, in Rift Valley we have tea, and in Nyanza we have sugar, maize and fish. You can see that every part of this country has something that the Ministry of Agriculture should put resources to develop."
