    "content": "Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I also thank Sen. Khaniri for bringing this Statement forth for us to understand this imbalance in trade that is there between Kenya and Beijing, to whom we are bleeding a lot of our hard earned money towards yet we are not getting the same from of them. I wish this Statement would have gone to the Committee because it would have been interesting to interrogate the relevant Ministry to understand what it is that they are doing about getting some fairness in this imbalance of trade. As I speak on how we need to empower Kenyans so that we can become more industrialized, we have to be clear on what is our foreign policy when we go into trade with foreign countries. We have to protect the interests of our country as well. It would have been interesting to hear what the relevant Ministry is doing about some of these things and to see what policies are in place when it comes to protecting Kenyans the way we see China protecting its people. By putting a stop at the import of avocadoes is the same way we would want to see the steps and measures being taken to protect our people from any substandard Chinese goods."
