    "content": "I am sure this matter can be resolved if we all put our heads together. I want to thank Senator Cheruiyot, who sponsored this Bill. Looking at it, I am confident that it will address some of the issues or problems that affect the tea sector in Kenya. Going by records, the major problem in the sector is the voting system that is being used in tea factories across the country. I propose that they have a system of one vote, one man, one shilling, against what we have now. For one to qualify to run as a member of a board of a tea factory, they must have a certain number of shares. Most farmers do not have enough land to plant tea to have more shares to run for the position of a member of a board at the factory level. However, they have the capacity to lead. So, if this is changed and the quarter system is avoided, I am sure we will get good leaders who will steer our tea factories ahead."
