    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I can speak more eloquently about the pollution in the lake and threats by Ugandan authorities. I would not speak as eloquently about tea. We did put a lot of energy in the Fisheries Act. We brought a lot of issues that concern fisheries. So, I would urge those from the tea sector that if they are serious about dealing with those issues in the tea sector, then we need to re-look at this Bill. My only concern is perhaps based on what Hon. (Ms.) Mbarire has spoken about. The amendments might be too many for this Bill and that may call for another Bill. This is because from the rules of this House, if the amendments are too many, they no longer suffice as amendments. The Mover spoke to the issue of diversification. However, what we are doing as a country, which is not very good, is that we want to diversify into different areas when we are not putting a lot of focus on what we already have. In the USA, they may serve you with tea branded as English tea and yet, it is from Kenya. Some of the things I was hoping to see in this Bill are issues that talk about protection of tea from Kenya or marketing of tea from Kenya when people import it from here."
