"content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the way this Act is, if it is not amended, is very harsh to the farmer. If it is not amended to incorporate the interest of the farmer, it will be very difficult for the farmer to continue growing tea. The points here are very basic. Every month, the farmer has to pick tea and take it to the factory. The amount of money paid is not enough to pay the casuals. If it happens continuously throughout the year, the farmer will stop producing tea. This Bill should be framed in such a way that it takes care of the interest of the farmer and we will fully support it. This is because our concern is; how does the farmer benefit from the low returns and currency fluctuation? Sometimes the management of the Kenya Tea Development Authority (KTDA) does not look at how they can assist the farmer."
