Daniel Maanzo","speaker":{"id":2197,"legal_name":"Daniel Kitonga Maanzo","slug":"daniel-kitonga-maanzo"},"content":"During that time, this House, and the Departmental Committee on Agriculture and Livestock in which I was a member was pushed by the Executive because a problem needed to be sorted out; part of which was to save - through reduced boards and a centralised system. I have had an opportunity to interact with AFA officials currently while dealing with coffee. They have a burden even by the coffee crop alone! When it comes to sugar and other crops, there is a serious challenge. So, we have not yet even scratched the surface of dealing with the crops in this country. I oppose this Bill as presented, unless we improve it in the Third Reading, put our minds together and come up with a better Bill."}
