The National Assembly will reconsider the Tea Amendment Bill, 2023, after Gatundu South MP Gabriel Kagombe failed to declare his directorship in three tea companies during the initial debate.

• Speaker Moses Wetang’ula directed the House to start fresh proceedings on the Bill.
• Mr Kagombe is a director at Theta Tea Factory Company Limited, KTDA Holdings Limited, and Majani Insurance Brokers Limited, whose operations are directly affected by the Bill.
• This failure to declare interest, as required by parliamentary standing orders and the Conflict of Interest Act, 2025, compromised the debate and raises questions about the validity of previous decisions.
