"content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wanted to give the right impression. There was an erroneous statement that tea at the auction is selling at Kshs126 per kilo, while farmers are getting only Kshs9. The truth of the matter is that, Kshs9 is the first payment. An amount of Kshs11.75 is the second payment. That brings the total amount to Kshs20.75 on average. If you convert net tea from green leaf tea, you will be fetching Kshs29 per kilo. The difference between Kshs29 and Kshs20 goes into processing. With regard to our plans to enable farmers to take home slightly over what they are taking now, we are ensuring that there is better value for tea that is reproduced in this country, through the stages that I have already stated. With regard to the devaluation of the shilling, that is the purview of the Minister for Finance. He will answer that when a question is directed to him."
