"content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, on the tea fertilizers, my Ministry instructed the Kenya Tea Development Authority (KTDA) to import Government fertilizers for the tea industry. Unfortunately, the KTDA did not comply. They went ahead to import fertilizers on their own. They are currently selling the same fertilizers at Kshs2,500 per bag. It is our belief, as Government, that we would get those fertilizers a lot cheaper, if the KTDA had agreed to work in partnership with the Government. That is the situation. However, we are discussing with the KTDA. For the next consignment, they must agree to bulk purchase, which helps to negotiate the prices downwards for the benefit of the farmer. In future, we should be able to import together, so that we can negotiate appropriately in the interests of reducing the prices."
