"content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, while appreciating the answer given by the Assistant Minister, I do not know whether he understood the Question. He is talking about bringing some amendments to an Act that is even yet to be operationalised. This House passed a Bill which was assented by the President on 21st March, 2011 but to date, the Act has not become operational. So, I wonder what he means by bringing some miscellaneous amendments when the Act is very clear on the membership of the Tea Board of Kenya. I have the Act here, and it provides for three Permanent Secretaries, two representatives of factory organisations, one person from plantation tea producers and one representative of tea auctioneers. This is very clearly spelt out. What amendments is the Assistant Minister talking about? What are those amendments supposed to do when the Act states clearly who the members of the Board are?"

The Act says that there will be nine elected members, but, unfortunately, when it comes to the tabulation, we are ending up with seven. So, we want to add two more slots, so that we are in conformity with the current Act."

The Assistant Minister is misleading the House by saying that the term of the Board will expire in 2013 when there is a new Act which abolished the current Board. Is he in order to mislead the House by saying that the Board is in existence when there is a new Act which has brought in a new Board, which is completely different from the Board that existed before?"

The Minister for Agriculture will be able to reconstitute the Board and we are saying it is important, therefore, to accommodate the existing Tea (Amendment) Act; there is a provision intended to facilitate and realign the composition of the Board as stipulated; it will consequently enable the dissolution of the Board whose term will expire in 2013. So, the current Act has not at all abolished the existing Board. Once the current Board expires in 2013, the new one will be constituted. That is why we are proposing some miscellaneous amendments before 2013, so that the new Board can be in place."
