"content": " Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to air my views on what my colleagues are talking about regarding tea farmers. Farmers in Vihiga County were almost getting impatient with the payments. Most of our tea is taken to Mudete Tea Factory. Our farmers were discouraged by the payments and they almost uprooted their tea bushes. Keep in mind that tea is one of our cash crops. Therefore, I want to echo the sentiments of our people that the payments are too low. In Mudete Tea Factory, farmers were told that they would be paid Ksh20. Are we trying to encourage or discourage the farmers? Do we want them to uproot the tea bushes? We need an urgent response from the concerned Ministry about payments to tea farmers. Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker."
