    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, and our former colleague, Sen. Linturi, the Cabinet Secretary for Agriculture and Livestock Development. His colleague, the Cabinet Secretary, Ministry of Investments, Trade and Industry had indicated that he gave an opportunity of duty free maize into the country. My question is; how many metric tons have been imported since the duty free period was been opened last year specifically on maize. When will the duty free for importation of maize into the country end before the next harvesting season especially in North Rift where I come from, Nandi, Uasin Gishu, Trans Nzoia and the other parts of the country? Finally, I just want to add on what Sen. Cheruiyot has said about the tea sector. Is the Cabinet Secretary aware of the tea plucking machines cries that we are seeing in North and South Rift and what is his reaction on the cries of tea plucking machines in our multinational companies both in South Rift and North Rift? I note that the Temporary Speaker comes from Bomet that has also been affected by the tea plucking machines. Sen. Cheruiyot who is the Senate Majority Leader comes from Kericho and I come from Nandi. So, Cabinet Secretary, could you apprise the country on how you will resolve the cries of tea plucking machines. There are many young people in Bomet, Kericho and Nandi who do not have an opportunity of working with multinational tea farms and private tea farms. This is because of the introduction of tea plucking machines that has caused cries through the Ministry of Interior and National Administration. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, those are my questions. I thank you."
