    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Indeed, earlier this week, this matter came to the House. I agree with the decision you have just taken that a letter be issued to the Chairperson of the Standing Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries so that he can deal with this matter speedily. As you know, tea farmers all over the country have been rioting in the last few months because of the low payments that they were paid for their farming activities. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the situation is pretty bad. People are impoverished out there because the organization that is entrusted with the management of the tea farmers’ money has given out the money to collapsing banks. This is a serious matter and we cannot sit in this House, doing nothing. I agree with you and request that a strongly worded letter be done to the Chairperson, Standing Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries so that we have an answer here by Tuesday next week."
