    "content": "Privatization is not about privatising sugar factories, nor is land being privatised. It is the operations in those factories that are being privatised. This is because, all the other times, the management of those sugar factories has run down those institutions. It is good that a different approach is being used to see whether it can bear fruit. It is important for the Government of Kenya to remember that coffee and tea farmers are waiting for their money. I have seen and heard people celebrating the recent tea bonus payout, saying that it was high, and the best. As a tea farmer and a leader who comes from the tea sector, our tea farmers expected much more from tea than they got. I believe that the Government should spring into action and cushion all tea and coffee farmers. For instance, coffee has been in our stores for a couple of months. It has not been sold. We believe it is the same cartels in the sugar, coffee and tea sectors that are holding our country at ransom by not buying our coffee as it has been bought previously. I believe that concerted efforts towards fighting those cartels should continue so that our farmers can get the most out of it. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker."
