    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to contribute. Before I do so, allow me to congratulate the students and teachers of Kangema High School for finding time to visit the Senate. I have known the school for a long time because of two things. First, my late mum was from a village called Kanorero which is near Kangema High School. So, I have fond memories of the school because I used to go there. Secondly and most importantly, my elder brother schooled in Kangema High School. I am happy that the school is doing well compared to those times when my brother was there. I welcome the students and teachers of Kangema High School to this Chamber. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, allow me to revert back to the Report. I was a Member of the ad hoc Committee and the people of Murang’a County who are the biggest supplier of small-scale tea in the entire country were quite anxious for the tabling of this Report. Murang’a County has 10 tea factories. We have Ngere Tea Factory in upper Gatanga and Kiriti Tea Factory in Mathioya Constituency. Therefore, we have a vested interest in ensuring the implementation of the recommendations. I assure the people of Murang’a County who do tea farming that this Report, once implemented by the Executive, will offer major solutions to their problems. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, allow me for the benefit of the people of Murang’a County and other farmers generally to highlight some few issues. The most important recommendation that we made is the idea of asking the Government to reintroduce a tea directorate, which will be separate from the AFA arrangement that exists. That is important because we feel that tea needs specialized 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."
