    "content": "I urge the House to pass this Bill. Initially when I saw the Bill, my first reaction was why just tea and why are tea farmers looking at themselves selfishly? But when I look at it deeply, I see it as the liberation of the agriculture sector in this country. Therefore, as Members, we need to support it. As fast as it leaves here and the President puts a signature to it and it becomes an Act of Parliament, we should push for its immediate implementation. I know cartels would want to block its implementation. Cartels are not just at the KTDA, but they are also in AFA at Wakulima House here in Nairobi. They are there. They would want to block the implementation of the Act, but as long as it leaves Parliament and is signed into an Act of Parliament, we want to see other Bills coming in. We want to see the Coffee Bill, the Sugar Bill and the Maize Bill coming in, so that we can liberate the agriculture sector."
