    "content": "Yes, indeed. I confirm I was a member of that ad hoc Committee. We addressed this issue of tea farmers plight extensively and particularly as it relates to the role of KTDA in managing the small scale growers of tea. Through the process of gathering information and being able to write the full report, it came to our attention that there are more than 42 taxes that are being levied on a poor small scale farmer as a tea grower. Therefore, they are just there for mere subsistence and can hardly be able to make their ends meet. I will passionately request this house that that report contains a lot of details and materials that need now to be debated on the floor of the House so that we can find solutions to the small scale farmer in tea who has been so impoverished through this other unorthodox method."
