    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.53(1) to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries regarding the postponement of Kenya Tea Development Agency Director Elections in Nyamira and Kisii. In the Statement, the Committee should- (1) Explain why the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) did not conduct the elections for Kenya Tea Development Agency (KTDA) directors as scheduled on Friday, 28th June, 2024, especially considering that the farmers had already gathered in the polling stations in readiness for the elections. (2) Provide evidence regarding whether the IEBC communicated the postponement of the election of tea factory directors to the farmers in advance, specifying the method of communication used, evaluating its effectiveness and presenting evidence demonstrating that the farmers received the communication. (3) Clarify the reasons for rescheduling the elections to Saturday, 29th June, 2024, especially given that these elections were being carried out in Nyanza, where the residents are predominantly members of Seventh-day Adventist Church. (4) State the scheduled dates for the IEBC to conduct elections for directors of the tea factories managed by KTDA that did not hold elections."
