    "content": "Secondly, the same KTDA charges farmers 2.5 per cent as management fee and yet, the same factories have to pay salaries to employees seconded by KTDA to their factories. Why is that the case? That ought to have been covered by the 2.5 per cent management fee being paid. But you will find that the same factory managers and accountants in respective factories across the country are paid by the same farmers. That is piling pressure and unnecessary financial obligations on the farmers. You will find that the same KTDA Company Secretary is the legal officer for respective factories. In whose interest are they catering for? KTDA as an agency is in business. Why would they be in charge of legal functions at the respective factories? This Bill is welcome. The creation of TBK will come and streamline all those problems. Issues of licensing will be taken away from KTDA and will be handled by the same TBK. Issues of marketing will also be taken away from KTDA and will be handled by the said TBK. As it stands now, we have Brand Kenya that is selling Kenya out there. What is wrong with having a body that is mandated to sell our produce of tea outside there or even within the country? KTDA is not doing that the way they are supposed to be doing."
