    "content": "I am waiting for the one on sugar-cane now. That is the one I will bring. I am waiting for the coffee Bill, so that we can get a rest from these stories all over the country of Members saying that they want their money in their pockets. The money is in Parliament. Kindly come here when we are discussing it. Having said that, the problem that tea is facing in this country is not creation of another board, but it is the KTDA. The cartels that have captured KTDA are the ones which are killing the tea industry in our country. As a House, it is high time we asserted our authority to deal with that matter once and for all. I am happy because Members have come to realise that we need to address the issue of the KTDA in a more forceful manner than we have been doing before. It has transformed itself from an authority to an agency and now to a cartel. The bonuses that were being paid to farmers when we were in school and the cost of living compared to the cost of living today are incomparable. Hon. Machogu has said that the last bonus was Kshs11 compared to Kshs40 that was paid two years ago. Unless we address the issue of KTDA, even if we create the Tea Board of Kenya as it is proposed by the Bill, the solution might not be as good as we intend to have."
