    "content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, our farmers all the way from region one in Embu, Kiranyaga, Kiambu in Central Province, Kisii in Nyanza Province, Western Province and Rift Valley, are choked by cost. They are dying. In fact, for an MP who comes from a tea producing area, he gets embarrassed to talk about the comparative payments that are there in the country. There is a factory called Mogogosiek and another factory called Kapkorios. Kapkorios earned a whooping Kshs1.5 billion last year while Mogogosiek earned a whooping, Kshs1.2 billion. But what happened? All those billions were eaten up by those loans that are killing these farmers. Farmers in Mogogosiek and Kapkorios were paid a mere Kshs33.50 and Kshs34.40 per kilogramme as bonus respectively. Compare this to what happened in Makomboki Factory in Murang’a County. They were paid Kshs45.15 per kilogramme as bonus. They were paid so much money that the Government had to send there special police to keep off twilight girls because they were going to confuse farmers who were having so much money."
