    "content": "Six, the tea industry supports 700,000 small-scale farmers and employs over 5 million Kenyans. Right now, we risk losing those jobs because the industry is no longer doing well. I see this Bill coming in to rescue farmers. I appreciate the formation of the Kenya Tea Board especially if it is going to regulate tea dealers and producers, so that we do not have a situation where somebody wakes up in the morning and decides that he will be auctioning tea right, left and centre. I appreciate the fact that this Bill is going to ensure that we register tea farmers in this country. People may not understand the logic behind the registration of tea farmers, but where I come from, we have people auctioning tea right, left and centre, who do not even plant tea. Multinational tea sectors are suffering the most because we have employed fellows who sneak into the tea bushes at night, pluck tea, and the next day, they auction tea and nobody asks them if they are registered farmers in the first place."
