"content": "It is only via an electronic auction process where the competing company cannot place in Kshs3.00 or Kshs3.50 per kilogramme. However, so long as we can sit, agree and say that for today, we feel like we should not pay more Kshs2 per kilogramme, they can determine this. It is only through a strong regulator as it is being proposed in this particular Bill that we will even the rules and issue a directive and say, for example, from today, anybody that wants to carry out auction business in Kenya must set up an electronic auction as a way of doing business. Madam Temporary Speaker, in the past, the Tea Board of Kenya used to sponsor many research activities, look for the market and provide agricultural extension services to our farmers. Those days, our famers were able to earn the maximum from this crop. Unfortunately, as I speak right now, our farmers do not enjoy these kinds of services. In many of our embassies, we do not have tea representatives, yet it is a well-known fact globally that our tea ranks with the very best. However, because of how Government is disorganised, nobody gets to sell these ideas out there."
