    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to react to the statement made by the Chairperson of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is disappointing that the issue of capacity and ability of committees is dysfunctional. As the Chair of the Liaison Committee, I expect you to intervene on this matter. Sen. Faki had requested for a kamukunji. I hope we can discuss this matter. Finally, I needed an update from the Chairperson of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries on the issue of bonus. I come from Nandi County and there are areas such as Vihiga, Kakamega, Nyamira, Kisii, Bomet and Kericho, where our tea bonuses were very low. We were receiving Kshs17 to Kshs25. Nonetheless, on this other side of the country, they were receiving up to Kshs61 in bonuses. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I saw people demonstrating in your area today, yet they are getting better bonuses of up to Kshs57 to Kshs60. In Nandi, we are getting only Kshs15 to Kshs25. We are suffering on tea bonuses of our farmers, especially from the Rift Valley, parts of Nyanza and Western Kenya. We need this issue of tea bonuses to be spoken, because you cannot tell us that the tea that comes from another part of Kenya fetches more bonuses over the one that come from Rift Valley.
