The Cabinet Secretary for Agriculture has promised to implement reforms that will see tea farmers double their earnings to Ksh 100/Kg by 2027. The outlined measures are mostly outlined on Tea Act. As to how introduction of Tea Levy will help to achieve this, am not convinced!
2. Introduction of bulk payment system through the Direct Settlement System (DSS). This is the same system which the coffee farmers fought in court and was nullified.

SECTIONS OF TEA AMENDMENT BILL 2023 OPPOSED BY SECTION OF FARMERS
PART 1
A section of concerned farmers have come out to strongly oppose two amendments introduced into the Tea Act:
1. Introduction of a Levy of Ksh 3.85/Kg of bulk tea sold at the auction. This will translate to about Ksh 2.29 billion per year of farmers money going to the levy. The farmer is already overburdened by several levies and taxes and low tea prices.
