"content": "Hon. Deputy Speaker, tea farming is a major activity in Bomet Central Constituency. Tea farmers are really suffering because of bad roads. They are also suffering because of taxation. It is only in the tea sector where we have tax even on research. There is no tax on research for potatoes. However, when it comes to tea, there is even tax on tea farming. I would like this tax to be removed because tea is a foreign currency earner and farmers should be encouraged to grow it instead of being discouraged. I would like this Parliament to also consider, in future, when we are dealing with Bills to ensure that we remove taxes in the tea sector."
