"content": "disappeared. To date, the sugarcane industry has no cent as a fallback position when the factories are under threat. The huge reserves of money they had for management and development of the tea sector also disappeared through the AFA Act. Since agriculture is a hundred per cent devolved, we should not under any circumstances leave the national Government in the guise of the AFA Act to micromanage and control the agricultural sector in whatever form. Secondly, we are talking about the plight of tea farmers and Sen. Cheruiyot has amplified it very well. If tea is the second largest foreign exchange earner and employs millions of Kenyans, how come mining that hardly brings in anything quotable within our GDP and tourism that brings in much less are given greater status than the tea sector? It is having our priorities upside down."
