Lastly, it is pathetic that we always set aside some funds in this House for disaster response. The NDMA has funds for response to drought. If you go to the ground, things are different. No one has ever benefitted. If there are, they are very few. There were livestock uptake funds. I am a farmer and pastoralist. My cows have been affected by the drought. I cannot say that the uptake should have started with mine, but, I have neighbours who are really suffering and should have benefitted from these funds. With this particular Bill, we will be able to ...

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, we cannot mislead the whole country. He is becoming like the Principal Secretary who told us that the Pipeline Company is wet yet Kenyans are queuing in pump stations; vehicles are stuck on roads and motorcycles are at home because they do not have fuel.

We will only know when fuel is available in the pumps. So, let us not ...

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I support this Clause 42D especially when it comes to part (2) which states thus: “Every coffee factory shall, by resolution of its members in Annual General Meeting, designate a registered miller for its parchment coffee.” So, this one will give farmers a leeway to choose which miller they will use, one that will give them the best services and that is very nice. However, when we go to what Hon. Dawood has said on losses, these millers will be taking all the profits. So, why should they share their losses with farmers and yet they ...

I support this one. It is very important, especially when you come to New Clause 54B (3) which says that a county government in the coffee growing areas may, separately or in unison with the Board, support coffee growers’ participation in local and international coffee promotion and marketing events. This will empower our farmers to even search for markets outside the country and know what is happening internationally. This is, therefore, for them to incorporate it in whatever they are doing in the production of coffee. This is a very good amendment. We have to support it. The electronic version ...

Even New Clause 54B(2) which says the board may co-ordinate coffee stakeholders, including county governments, growers and buyers at the national and international events for the purpose of promoting Kenya coffee is very important. We support.

Of course, what you are thinking about is what I meant. It depends on where you were born, brought up and who your English teacher was. You are not here to teach me English pronunciations. Anyway, thank you very much, Hon. Speaker, for joining the Kenya Kwanza Alliance. You are now in the correct coalition party.
