    "content": " Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to reply. (a) I am aware that there were some delays in receiving green leaf from farmers in Mudete Tea Factory due to change in technology from analog to electronic weighing scales introduced gradually in October, 2010. However, due to the acquisition of adequate electronic weighing scales and adoption of time-bound collection system designed to cover established routes, the tea factory is now able to serve farmers and reduce the waiting time before leaf collection. (b) The Kenya Tea Development Authority (KTDA) and Mudete Tea Factory have increased the number of tea leaf collection clerks by training their drivers to double up as clerks in an effort to enhance timely collection and delivery of green tea to the factory. This cost-effective strategy will complement the existing transport system and the electronic weighing method, thereby increasing income to farmers. Farmers are encouraged to deliver their produce to the factory, where Kshs1.50 per kilogramme of green leaf delivered is reimbursed."
