    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for the opportunity to contribute to this Bill. Before I state my position on this particular Bill, I would like to highlight a few things. I appreciate that I do not come from a tea growing area but in terms of per-capita income, the region I come from could be leading in terms of consumption of tea. I also appreciate that tea is a leading foreign exchange earner for our country. Therefore, when tea farmers in our country complain about reducing earnings in terms of the tea bonuses they get, and the representatives of tea growers in this House complain about KTDA, I share their concern. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, when the various Acts regulating crops in this republic were repealed and consolidated into the Crops Act, there were good reasons. I took my time to go through the Crops Act. I appreciate that tea, as a key crop in this county, requires special attention. If the provisions of the Crops Act as well as those of the AFA Act are implemented well, it could actually provide a solution to the problem facing the tea subsector.
