We have a lot of cotton in Taita Taveta and Tana River which is down at the Coast. It was not in the first project and today, I insisted that the whole country must be incorporated. When I come to this Senate, I am talking to the country and the Senators who are the representatives of the people are all here. We cannot have a section of people that are not represented in whatever the Government is doing. As the chairperson of the Agriculture Committee, I commit to bring regular reports on this particular project. By June, we would want to know how far we have gone with the projects in western Kenya. I commit to this House that that will happen for both cotton and coffee. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."}
