    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for this opportunity to also say something about this Bill. As you are aware, I come from a county that grows tea, the County of Vihiga, where we have a tea factory called Mudete Tea Factory. I have experienced first-hand challenges that tea farmers in that county go through. In fact, right now, most of the tea farmers have uprooted the tea plants because of low production and due to the fact that they are not benefiting from it. So, this is a very serious problem. I want to agree with the many Members who have spoken that, indeed, the tea sector is on its deathbed. As a House, it is important to do something about it. I want to commend Sen. Cheruiyot for bringing this very important Bill although I agree that there is a lot of meat that needs to be put in so that it can address many of the issues that Members have raised.
