    "content": "I am happy because the Government has realised that our farmers are suffering. During the Budget Day, the National Treasury, through the Cabinet Secretary, Mr. Rotich, mentioned that all taxes levied on sugarcane and tea farmers have been scrapped. We want to see a memorandum from the Agriculture, Fisheries and Food Authority (AFFA) showing the exact taxes which have been removed. I brought a petition to this House to reduce tax on tea farming and the ad valorem levy, which is used by the tea directorate to market tea outside the country. The same money is used by the Tea Research Foundation of Kenya. Research and marketing of tea should not be the work of the farmer. That should be taken over by the relevant Government agencies and funded by the National Treasury."
