    "content": "Secondly, is the issue of the Kenya Tea Development Agency (KTDA). This Motion is very timely so that this Bill can also critically look at the structure of KTDA because farmers' earnings are the ones that support KTDA. Time has come when we need to streamline KTDA so that we can be able to cut its running cost. KTDA should be a skeleton company in terms of employment. Nobody controls them on how many people they employ. So, they end up \"eating\" into farmer's money with the new democracy that they have created all over the country and yet they are supposed to maximise earnings for the farmers. So, we need to reduce the employees and leave those who are really necessary and useful to the farmers. They have even those big posts of directors and I-do-not-know-what. If you ask what they do, you will not know exactly what value they add to the tea farmers. So, those positions should also go into that direction of restructuring KTDA and bringing in other marketers so that we can introduce competition in the tea industry."
