    "content": " Thank you for the opportunity, Hon. Deputy Speaker. On what my Chair has said, ordinarily, regulations operationalise an Act of Parliament. On this matter, we are talking about regulations concerning tea. The Cabinet Secretary went ahead to gazette the regulations. The Kenya Tea Development Agency (KTDA) went to court and I think the regulations were suspended. What the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Agriculture and Livestock is requesting is for the parent committee to have a look at the regulations. Last time, he rose on the Floor of the House and the Speaker gave him ago ahead for the Committee to look into the matter on the Tea Bill, which is a Senate Bill. The issues that are being tackled under the Tea Bill are the same things in the regulations. So, the Chair is humbly requesting that, through your intervention, you provide direction, so that the parent committee can have a look at the Tea Regulations now that it has been seized of the Tea Bill. That is what he is seeking."
