(1) A person who blends any or various grades of tea produced in Kenya with any other tea produced outside Kenya shall declare the percentage of Kenyan tea on the packaging and on the blend sheet. (2) A person who contravenes this section commits an offence and shall, on conviction, be liable to imprisonment for term not exceeding three years or to a fine not exceeding five million shillings or to both. Taxation of tea. 24W. (1) Fees imposed by a county government shall not in any way prejudice national economic policies, economic activities across county boundaries or national mobility of goods, services, capital or labour. No. 2 of 2012 (2) The Cabinet Secretary shall, using the structures established under the Intergovernmental Relations Act, put in place mechanisms to harmonize fees and charges on tea across counties. Tea value addition. 24X. (1) All tea buyers or exporters shall value add at least forty per centum of their annual Kenya tea exports within eight years of the commencement of this Act. (2) The Cabinet Secretary shall in accordance with regulations made under this Act and in consultation with the Board, facilitate the establishment of Common User Facility for tea value addition as may be prescribed. Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, the amendment seeks to delete Part III of the Bill and substitute it with the New Part III. The existing Part III provides for a role of national and county governments: Clause 20, Registration of the Tea Growers; Clause 21, Licensing; Clause 22, Form of Licensing; Clause 23 on Dissemination of Market Information; Clause 24 seeks to provide clarity on the role of national and county Governments in the Development of tea and registration of various tea dealers; Regulation of tea importers; Regulation of the offshore process; Provision of blended tea, taxation of tea; and provision for tea value addition."
