    "content": "A BILL TO AMEND KTDA ACT THAT, in view of the Government's prime goal and policy to spur the economy to an accelerated growth to catch up with the Asian economic tigers; conscious that agriculture is the engine of the country's economic development; noting with appreciation that the tea sub-sector has sustained itself as well as the economy through a very long recessionary period without any direct Government investment; cognizant that small tea production has by far surpassed the existing factories' processing capacity with resultant enormous loss and wastage of green leaf; bearing in mind that the cost of factory construction is sky high and beyond the ability of the small scale farmers; and commending the Government's demonstrated commitment to revamp, boost, rehabilitate, revive and/or expand various important sectors of the economy, this House grants leave to introduce a Bill for an Act of Parliament to amend the KTDA Act to provide for urgent direct Government investment in the rehabilitation, expansion, or construction of tea factories to adequately process tea produced by small scale farmers throughout the country."
