    "content": "We were told of a case in a village called Menyenya where farmers are forced to take tea leaves to a buying center that is five kilometers away from their farm. They pluck their tea leaves, carry it on their heads and trek five kilometers to deliver the tea leaves. How inhuman can we be to an important sector like tea farming that give us a lot of money in terms of foreign earnings? I do not know about Mudete Tea Factory in Sen. Khaniri’s county. However, you will be shocked if I gave you the figures of the payment to tea farmers in Nyamira and the larger Kisii region. In a factory called Tombe, farmers were paid Kshs9 bonus and in Ogembo Tea Factory, they were paid Kshs9. In my own factory where I grow tea, although I am a small-scale farmer, Kshs15 was paid out. How will you recoup the investments, the input you have put in terms of fertilizer and tea worker throughout the year? The farmers are not making money but losses."
