I remember when President Uhuru was in Mombasa, he bitterly complained about the cartels that are controlling the tea industry. Whereby the brokers end up getting about 70 per cent of the sale and the farmers end with the short-end of the stake which is about 30 per cent. This is something of national interest given that tea is an important crop of in this country. Formulation of policies is also captured in the Act. We need to know how it will regulate the small-scale farmer against the multi-nationals in Kericho. Should it formulate policies that relate to small-scale farmers ...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I take this opportunity to send my condolences to the family of the late Mzee Moi. He did much for this country both good and bad. He did so much for so few, but did so little for so many. We will not forget, but we forgive.
