    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I wish to congratulate the farmers of Kenya for sustaining our economy. I wish to congratulate the farmers of Kenya for being the ones that enabled me to get a salary at the end of the month. Because of that, I want to appeal to my colleagues that this little commitment that we will give them, for the next two hours, we give it to them and allow our farmers to enjoy the fruits of their sweat. Since the final underwriter of laws in this country is the President, I want to appeal to him to remember the tea farmers of Othaya who have sustained him in politics for 50 years. The real gift he can give them, as he leaves to go into retirement, is to allow these loans to be written-off by His Government so that happy as he is in retirement his age mates, who are also farmers can also enjoy not by going to his home for handouts but by earning from their sweat. So that I am not misunderstood, I appeal to the House that this Motion, on the face of it looks like we want to write-off loans. That is a small picture. The big picture is that this Motion seeks to achieve ten great things for Kenya and for Kenyans. The first thing is that we want, through this Motion, to give a clear incentive to small-scale tea farmers who comprise 75 per cent of all the tea produced in this country."
