    "content": "want to process and export high-quality tea of Kenya, they put very high tariff barriers on the teas so that you cannot access their market. They want when they come to Mombasa, to see tea being auctioned raw. Our farmers do not get value for their sweat from that. It is high time that we negotiated jointly as Africans and as the third world and agree on how to pressurize that market because they bring their goods here with very low tariffs. We give them good terms under the European Union (EU) agreement. We do not have many industries so our only exports are agriculture. They just want us to supply raw materials without value addition. They make it extremely difficult for you to access their markets if you process and do value addition. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we should work together on this area with other countries so that we can access those markets with the value-added goods in order for our farmers and people to benefit for their sweat and money. I thank you."
