    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker. We are alive to the fact that this House does not legislate in futility. I am reminded that a while back, some of those bodies under agriculture were collapsed. The Tea Board of Kenya, the Kenya Sugar Board and many others were collapsed and made into one body called the Agriculture and Food Authority (AFA). I am slow to contribute. I may not want to betray this amendment that is meant to recreate a moribund body such as the Tea Board of Kenya. I am slow to act. I do not know whether this is meant to recreate a new body called the Tea Board of Kenya hence have a stand- alone legislative agenda or are we tinkering with the AFA Act, so that this will form part of the entire structure within the Agriculture and Food Authority. Hon. Speaker, I want to indulge your direction on this subject. Otherwise, we may fall into a trap of recreating bodies which, according to our law, died long time ago. I, therefore, put into question whether there is a nexus between this Bill and Article 114 of the Constitution. What is the budgetary implication? Is this a money Bill or is it falling under a non-money Bill? So, let us widen our scope of understanding this Bill first, before we delve further into the subject. Perhaps, we may want to know its origin and the purpose upon which the tea agenda is being recreated in this House. Thank you."
