    "content": "processors went to court and that provision remains up to now, we need to do a clean-up so that we will count five years from 2020 when this Bill became an Act of Parliament up to 2025, for them to begin to value-add so that our farmers get value for their money. The rest, of course, are issues that other players and industry stakeholders brought before the Committee. I believe the Committee will guide us on how to conclude. Therefore, that is a brief history of this particular Bill. I want to urge our colleagues to support it so that we can move on and grow the industry of tea. I celebrate the work of this House because as we speak presently, we are considering laws on mung beans. There is a Cotton Bill, Sugar Bill, Coffee Bill, and there is now the Tea Bill. If we can conclude on all these and give our farmers the proper legislative framework to anchor them and set them on the road to prosperity, then the Senate will have played its rightful role. With those very many remarks, I beg to move and request Sen. Thang’wa, a representative of tea farmers as well, to Second this Bill. I thank you."
