    "content": "Leader because I am also a tea farmer. I know those problems and I passed this law. I was lucky courtesy of the people of Meru to be a Senator and I was in this House. I think the best way to address this matter is to invite the Senate Majority Leader because he is a man of wisdom and I am now on the other end implementing what is passed here for us to come up with a proper way of handling this. I really feel what the Senator is saying because Parliament cannot just be passing laws in vain. Something must be done and whatever is required to be done, I am ready to do it. I am willing to take up that challenge and ensure I do what is best. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the issue about tea farmers in the country is something that is so close to me. We have over 650,000 small scale tea farmers who depend on tea. We are really focused on how to improve the management of tea in the country to ensure that there is increased productivity, yields and to ensure that we have better returns from tea. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, allow me to ask the Senate Majority Leader to come and sit with me and then share his wisdom on how we can manage this and with the support of the Members of Parliament, we will be able to resolve the problem."
