in this country, for example, sugar-cane, tea or coffee. However, the Government of that time decided that we must have one organisation that deals with all the crops, but they will have directorates. It looks like we are going back to the old route of having a board for coffee, tea and sugar-cane like the Kenya Sugar Board. It looks like AFA has failed. A Bill has been introduced in the Senate to establish the Tea Board of Kenya. I believe the problem is the KTDA, but not creating a board. The Government must focus more on dealing with cash ...

In conclusion, because I do not come from a tea growing area, I am excited about this Bill. The debate on this Bill might go on until tomorrow. I want the Members who are not here who are concerned about their people’s tea and sugar-cane to be here tomorrow led by Hon. Moses Kuria. Let him not start shouting and telling us in Gatundu how people who do not have money in their pockets are suffering. Come here and legislate for your people, so that they can become richer than they are. That is why we are telling them to, ...

Hon. Speaker, I did not mention anything adverse about Hon. Moses Kuria. In the interest of time, to conclude my presentation, even in terms of budgetary allocation for developing different crops like tea and coffee, that money is allocated in the National Assembly in the budget- making process. If you want to increase funding for tea, sugar-cane or coffee, this is the House that does that work and the Chairman is Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah.

Hon. Speaker, I wanted your clarification on your mode of dressing today. In the last seven years I have been here, I have not seen the head regalia you are wearing today. What is its purpose? I am shocked and wondering whether you are the one or somebody is masquerading as the Hon. Speaker.

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. On my behalf and that of my constituency of Suna East and Migori County, I convey my message of condolence to the family of President Daniel Toroitich Arap Moi. Daniel Arap Moi was a visionary leader who steered this country in a peaceful manner for 24 years. He was a very tolerant leader. At the time when he was leading the country, it was engulfed in politics of opposition and Government. He tolerated all groups of people. With those few remarks, I send my condolences to his family and say pole to them.
