    "content": "of square kilometers, the land we occupy in Nyamira may not be the same as the land in the county of --- So this idea of 75 per cent coffee coming from Central Kenya could be because of the land size. I know the CS for Agriculture. He is a colleague and a lawyer and a wise man. Wise men change their minds. He can read the mood of the House and see the sentiments of representatives of the people from Western Kenya and Nyanza. A mistake was made and there is time to correct it. It is not fair to go along with this kind of arrangement where all the counties from western Kenya and Nyanza have been left out. I make an appeal to the CS for Agriculture to review the decision that he made and take into account that farmers are suffering. We are going through this COVID-19 pandemic and there is desperation all over the country. This should even give him an opportunity to review his decision and think about the farmer in Nyamira, Bungoma and Kisii. We are speaking on their behalf. There is nothing about politics here. It is a matter of us wanting a process that is not only fair but is seen to be so. I urge the Chairperson of the Senate Committee on Agriculture to convince the CS for Agriculture to review his decision and ensure that farmers from these other regions also benefit."
