    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also want to join my colleagues in thanking the Chairman of the Committee, Sen. Murungi. As he has collectively put it, there is, indeed, a crisis in the tea industry in this country today. As you are aware, some petitions have been made regarding this issue. Indeed, other questions have been raised. There are many problems that tea farmers in Murang’a County, which I represent, are facing. They have made a petition which I will be presenting to this Senate. I hope that when the committee finally sits to consider these issues, it will invite all stakeholders and not only those who have made a petition. It will be a sad day, indeed, if for any reason the tea industry in this country was lost to squabbles or misunderstandings between the KTDA and farmers. What the Chairman has said is most welcome. I want to assure him that those who come from tea growing areas will give him all the support that he requires so that we have a lasting solution to the tea sector in this country, which is very important to the economy of our country."
