    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thank the Nandi County Assembly for sending this Message. Out of the six sub-counties in my county, more than three quarter of them grow tea. This Message has come at the right time when we are considering The Tea Bill (Senate Bills No.36 of 2018) by Sen. Cheruiyot. As the Chairperson of the Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries has promised, we need to process this Message expeditiously. There has been a big challenge on the use of the cess; the revenue collected from private companies, individuals and multinational companies that grow tea in our counties. I know that most of the Senators from tea growing areas are interested in this Message. I hope that we will discuss this matter to conclusion so that our people can benefit from the revenue. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, statistics have shown that tea is the second highest revenue earner to the Republic of Kenya and Nandi County grows most of the tea. 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."
