    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for this opportunity to contribute to this important Motion. An English saying goes that a sheep lives its entire life afraid of the wolf only to be slaughtered and eaten by the shepherd. As the people of Mount Kenya, we are farmers. We have tea, coffee, and milk, the food crops we rely on. I happen to be an elected Director of the Kenya Tea Development Agency (KTDA), where we hold small-scale tea farmers and do business for the farmers. We have had a huge problem with money being diverted to the said hotel in Kilifi. Last year, Ksh53 million that was supposed to go into distributing fertiliser was diverted into personal use at a hotel. As we speak, the people of Mount Kenya have been burning their tea bushes and factories because we have a glut in Mombasa that has been occasioned by the influence of the Deputy President, who was charged with the responsibility of making sure that those people who voted the Government in benefit and reap from their hard work and their sweat. They will not see their hard-earned money that was supposed to go into their pockets because the Deputy President of the Republic of Kenya, after being charged with the responsibility of making sure that we have guaranteed minimum returns for those farmers, continued to give guaranteed minimum returns to himself, his family, his children, his spouse and his colleagues whom we have seen they share companies with."
