does not continue to rob the public of its money. This will ensure that it is run competitively so that it does not take more public funds. How will I explain to my people that they cannot be subsidised in the tea sub-sector but in the sugar sub-sector you are able to write off debts?

Thank you. I have lost some time on points of argument and not on points of order, but I wish to continue that we feel that there is a lot of discrimination in the tea sector. We have real challenges in the tea sector. Farmers are unable to service their loans which they used in the construction of tea factories and the Government has not come in to assist.

We only need to have a transition period. If we are now having 11 board members and we want to reduce them to seven, this Bill does not provide for a transition period. How will you reduce the 11 to seven board members? We need to capture that in this Bill, if it is to go through. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
