"content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, since you have ordered, I will accept two weeks because it is an important issue. I would like to remind the Chairman that one of the issues to be clarified by Treasury is the issue raised by Sen. Wetangula. I would like the Chairman to interrogate the Cabinet Secretary on all these issues and come up with a very comprehensive answer. Last week, Sen. Murungi, the Chairman of the Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries convened a very important meeting of all stakeholders in the tea industry. What continues coming up is that with lower and lower bonuses being paid to tea farmers, more and more of them are very likely to go bankrupt because they owe money to banks, lend on account of tea sales and if they do not get due income from tea sales and the banks deduct them at source, then the tea farmer is going to be left with nothing, rendering him or her bankrupt, children not going to school, being unable to service the loans and banks not taking into account the in duplum rule."
