    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I request for a statement from the Chairperson of the Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries. The statement relates to the pricing and marketing of Kenyan tea. Mr. Speaker, Sir, in the statement, I want the Chairperson to state whether he is aware that the Kenya Tea Development Agency (KTDA) as reported in the Tea Industry Status Report of May, 2014, is accused of the following acts: (1) Colluding with cartels to manipulate tea prices. (2) Conducting direct sales with big markets outside auction venues. (3) Buying tea directly from factories at lower prices and then importing cheap tea. (4) Colluding with various players to create the impression that there is excess tea in the market in order to maintain low prices. Could the Chairperson inquire into the activities of the KTDA with a view to ascertaining the malpractices and taking appropriate action to address them? The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
