    "content": "If there are any impediments moving forward, the Committee should move fast and correct the situation. As has been said, we know the importance of these economic zones and are repeating ourselves. They provide employment to our youths. Today as we speak, we have so many youths who have left universities and colleges and are unemployed. This area is supposed to absorb the youths out there. Also, with efficiency and proper regulations in the special economic zones the economy will grow and we will have more investments in our country. So, it is important for the Committee to move very fast and clean up the issues which have come up. I know some people have vested interests. We know that Kenya is one of the best countries in this continent where people want to invest. It is only fair we have a conducive environment to attract foreign investors. I ask the Committee to take up these issues, even if it means summoning the concerned Cabinet Secretary. We have a problem because the economy of this country is on the rocks. When we see such issues, they do not auger very well for some of us. As leadership of this country, we request the Committee to move fast and clean up. I support, but they should move fast."
