    "content": "Coast look at it, by ensuring that for the first time the farmer at the Coast is treated the way the coffee or tea farmer and the pastoralists and their cows are treated, so that they can feel they are part and parcel of a country that cares not only for them, but for their economic mainstay. Just like Hon. Mwamkale has said, we need to make the coconut tree a cash crop. We hope the Departmental Committee on Agriculture and Livestock in this House will not only wait for the ministry to implement this, but will be proactive in terms of relooking at the coconut tree and the crops at the Coast so that this 12th Parliament will be counted as the institution that helped the people of the Coast to regain an economic mainstay, and, therefore, be economically empowered like any part of this country. I thank the Members who contributed and I urge this House that we pass this Motion and subsequently, within six months as it is demanded by the Standing Orders, the State Department on Agriculture should take up this matter and ensure that it is implemented and the farmers at the Coast can smile like they used to do. I beg to reply."
