    "content": "I have seen in the newspapers that on 27th of this month, His Excellency the President will be at the tea auction in Mombasa to launch that digital platform. That is courtesy of work that has been done by this particular House. The journey is still long because there are many things we are calling upon the Government to do, so as to respect the gainful place of our tea farmers. In other countries, farmers are respected and accorded their pride of place because of their contribution to the economy. One time while visiting the City of Des Moines in Iowa, I saw an interesting advert in their airport saying that farmers and serving military men and women should not queue. They had an interesting caption that the military people could be returning home to visit their families while the farmers needed to hurry home to plan for the next season. That was interesting! It shows they respect their farmers because they know the work they do. In this country, our farmers are continuously neglected. Back in the day when tea was tea, during months like November when tea bonuses were paid in the county that I represent in this House, you could tell that people had money. Nowadays, whether it is paid or not, there is no difference because of the many bottlenecks we have introduced in this sector."
