    "content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, farmers are growing tea, but they are not seeing what the bushes are doing for them. It is no wonder that many of them are now uprooting the tea bushes. We have heard stories of tea bushes being uprooted in Central Province, the Rift Valley and in Kisii; this is because there is nothing that is coming out of tea. What has caused this sad event? One of the big problems that we are experiencing in the tea industry is that we are told that there is over-supply of tea in the world market. If there is an over-supply of tea in the market, what are we going to do as a Government? We are told that tea is supposed to be the second highest foreign exchange earner in the country. If that is the case, I must say that this is a mockery of the tea farmers of the Rift Valley, Central Province, Kisii and all the other areas that grow tea. It is a mockery because their sweat is not being translated into money in their pockets. They are not seeing the money that is supposedly being earned from tea."
