    "content": "Let me move quickly to Clause 17. It says every tea grower shall register with a processor and this will allow for data and statistics such that when we are reviewing the statistics--- I know there is the famous Huduma Number that is ongoing. Anyway, we are still yet to get what this Huduma Number will be. For example, we want to centralise the registration of tea with a processor, the name of the grower, the location, size and parcel number of the land where the tea grows and the variety. These are some of the things that we are also trying to introduce in the issue of delivering maize to the National Cereals and Produce Board (NCPB). Farmers are being asked to bring title deeds, letters from village elder and the chief, the parcel number and its location. It is very important that we have such register so that even when we are selecting the seven top tea growing areas and we ensure that we get the right people. We must ensure that a person shall not export, import, market or process tea unless he has applied for a license from the authority. You will find people opening some funny kiosks, they process tea in a very kienyeji way, repackage and call it, for example, Kericho Tea or Nandi Tea, yet the licensing has not been provided to the them. Madam Temporary Speaker, some of these brokers who are in Mombasa stretching their muscles in order to ensure that they take care of the sand and moonlighting, among other things, they just decide to export and import because they have connections. Our farmers in Kericho, Nandi, Bomet, and Nyeri, among other areas, can even have the ability of applying for the license and export and import. I am sure they The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
