    "content": " Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I thank you very much. Whereas we universally appreciate tea as one of the country’s best revenue earners besides coffee, sugar, rice, pyrethrum and others, the Bill before us does not capture the main salient issues that afflict tea farming in this country. Therefore, I will be quite apprehensive and slow to adopt this kind of Bill before this House. Before the enactment of AFA Act, there existed the Crops Act. The Crops Act which was abolished had several other crops that formed part of that bigger crop matter. I remember that when the AFA was being created in 2013, certain crops did not form part of it. I am not saying fish is a crop but I remember fish was left out of the AFA Act and that gave birth to the Kenya Fish Marketing Authority (KFMA). Barely five years down the line, we are once again back here agitating for recreation of the Kenya Tea Board that was abolished after 2013."
