"content": " Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I deputized my former Chairman of Legal and Justice Affairs Committee and the laws have changed. I would want to answer this question in a way that I think is best for the country. I will not give a political answer. I appreciate the tea farmers and the work done by the people that are given jobs in the plantations of picking tea. I also appreciate the concerns of our leaders especially Sen. Cherarkey in terms of the job losses that are likely to be occasioned by the use of these machines because I think that is what the main problem is. Mr. Temporary Speaker Sir, I know it is very difficult to change tradition. However, we have gotten to an era where we must appreciate science and technology. We have to look into the future and see how we can appreciate science for innovation is important for the development of this nation. One of the things that I am doing as a Ministry is promoting mechanization. We cannot run away from it because we want to increase efficiency, save on time and reduce human contact with most of the food that we are consuming."
