"content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, those who are going to implement this law will have to take into serious consideration the fact that tea farmers have suffered for a long time. The major issue I have never understood about tea is that people who plant tea never benefit. Those who trade in tea normally benefit more than the people who plant it. I am talking about the people who auction the tea in Mombasa. Why can we not create laws that will ensure that we do value addition? Can we not sell our tea when it is already packaged? If we are going to continue exporting our products, let us do so in the form that does not require value addition. If we do that, we will get prices that will be of great benefit to the farmer. Those are the areas that we need to seriously look at. I hope the proponent of this particular Bill will go deeper and ensure that we build more tea factories."
