    "content": "First of all, I hear many of my colleagues saying that we are simply creating a Bill to handle the tea sector. I want to say that we are doing that unapologetically. Today, if you asked anyone from my constituency, which is predominantly a tea growing area that prides itself in hosting many multi-national corporations, which largely depend on tea farming, no one has an idea of what AFA is. I want to laud the sponsor of this Bill, who is also the Senator of my county, for having taken this great initiative. The Bill comes to this House at no better time than now when earnings by our farmers have hit a record low. In fact, the highest bonus earnings in the South Rift were from my constituency, and it was just Kshs25 from Momul Tea Factory, while the lowest again was from my constituency at Tegat Tea Factory, where farmers received only Kshs14 after waiting for a whole year."
