    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, first, I am thankful to all hon. Members who have supported this endeavour to assist our small-scale tea farmers. Small-scale tea farming supports 12 million Kenyans, who derive their livelihood from it. The small-scale tea farmer supports this economy more than any other sector. The small-scale tea farmer grows his or her tea on a very small scale shamba . From what he or she earns from that investment, they cannot afford to provide for their families in terms of food or other needs. We have discovered that when the KTDA was established by that Legal Notice, the Government never received value for the assets that were transferred to that Agency. They were worth billions of shillings. Be that as it may, I want to thank the Ministry of Agriculture - I want specifically to thank the Minister and the Assistant Minister for Agriculture - for supporting this Motion on behalf of the poor small-scale tea farmers in this country. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, with those few remarks, I beg to move."
