Deputy Speaker, I beg to ask the Cabinet Secretary for Industry, Trade and Cooperatives the following Question: (i) Could the Cabinet Secretary explain the drastic reduction in tea bonus payout from Kshs50 per kilogramme to Kshs30 per kilogramme despite tea sales at the Mombasa Tea Auction fetching high rates exceeding Kshs200 a kilogramme? (ii) What steps has the Ministry taken to address the challenge occasioned by the reduction in view of the fact that most tea farmers had already taken upfront loans at a rate of Kshs30 per kilogramme of tea in anticipation of tea bonus rate of Kshs50 per kilogramme? (iii) What long-term plans does the Government have in sustaining the tea and coffee sector in view of the fact that farmers have already started uprooting their tea and coffee crops?"
