Irene Mayaka","speaker":null,"content":" Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I have an additional supplementary question on one of the strategies that the Chairman has told us, in terms of how to improve the quality of green leaf. I am just wondering. The fact that a tea tree is usually in existence for 50 to 100 years, and it is the same one that usually produces the green leaf, how can one improve the quality of the already existing tea trees? Unless you are saying that the farmers will need to uproot them and plant new ones?"},{"id":1618654,"url":"http://info.mzalendo.com/api/v0.1/hansard/entries/1618654/?format=json","text_counter":81,"type":"scene","speaker_name":"","speaker_title":"","speaker":null,"content":"(Applause)"},{"id":1618655,"url":"http://info.mzalendo.com/api/v0.1/hansard/entries/1618655/?format=json","text_counter":82,"type":"speech","speaker_name":"Nominated, ODM","speaker_title":"Hon.

Gichimu Githinji","speaker":null,"content":" Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I had at some point asked almost a similar question, a related question to Hon. Donya’s. But mine was appreciating that these factories are also private companies, who deal with their matters as privately registered limited companies. But if an issue arises, there is the Tea Board of Kenya (TBK) where someone can easily fall back to and request for a special audit. I requested for a special audit from the TBK way back last year for my constituency, Gichugu, where two companies are domiciled, namely, Thumaita and Kimunye. This has never happened. Can the Chairman, through the Ministry, intervene so that we can also get answers from the TBK, which is a creation of this Parliament, through a legislation?"},{"id":1618659,"url":"http://info.mzalendo.com/api/v0.1/hansard/entries/1618659/?format=json","text_counter":86,"type":"speech","speaker_name":"Hon.

Haiwezekani kuwa mkulima ambaye anapanda majani chai sehemu nyingine ambayo quality yake ni same na ya kwingine, adidimizwe na anyanyaswe. Wakulima wetu lazima wapewe morali wakijua kuwa bidhaa zao zikiingia sokoni, zitachukuliwa kwa usawa. Siasa isiingizwe kwa majani, kwa sababu kama chai ya mkulima wa Kisii iko sawa na mkulima wa sehemu nyingine, mkulima wa Kisii anafaa apate usawa kwa bidhaa zake. Nikimalizia, ninampongeza dada yangu, Mhe. Dorice Donya, kwa kuleta mambo haya. Kwa sababu wakulima wengi huhangaishwa sana. Inaonekana sehemu moja ya taifa inapata uzito sana katika bidhaa wakati wengine ambao wanajibidiisha wananyimwa huo usawa. Sisi wote ni Wakenya. Wakulima wetu wote wanafaa kuchukuliwa katika mkondo mmoja ili mazao yao yaingie katika market . Utamu wa chai ni kuweka kwa maji ya moto, kuangalia uzito wake, na ikiingia kwa tumbo ni chai. Kwa hayo, ninamsifu sana dada yangu, Mhe. Dorice Donya."},{"id":1618661,"url":"http://info.mzalendo.com/api/v0.1/hansard/entries/1618661/?format=json","text_counter":88,"type":"speech","speaker_name":"Hon.
