    "content": "We should not be shy to put our resources where they are needed. If we can put billions of shillings on a road and an energy project, which are also important, why would we find it difficult to support our farmers? These are the key drivers of economy at the grassroots level. I would like the Committee to not only look at the area of research and reviving the CRI, but also to look at the taskforce report that they alluded to, which is annexed to their Report, and come up with issues that we can legislate here to revive the coffee sector. We should focus on the production and ensure that our farmers are empowered, so that they can go back to their farms. Without any assistance from this House, I do not see anybody else who will help the coffee farmer. The voice must come from this House. We must come up with proper legislation and policy that will support production in coffee, tea and all our agricultural sectors including livestock."
