• 22 Nov 2023 in Senate: When that money is eventually paid, the farmer has no choice on whether it is paid in dollars, Kenya Shillings or Indian Rupees, for that matter.

I am happy to report to this House that when I went to Colombia with the Deputy President to explore the models that they use there, we learnt that most of the people in their coffee industry are young, educated and highly informed.

This will ensure that farmers in this country will never again regret being farmers. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, to dignify the farmers, we will need nothing short of paying them the rightful money in the right time and amount.
