They have bridged the gap between production and the market. Their turnover is now Kshs100 million a day, but it is just a start-up. That is why I insisted. I thank the Senate for passing the Start-ups Bill that has now gone to the National Assembly. That unicorn is now a global case study. Twiga Foods Ltd is Kenyan-owned and Kenyan-driven, but it is doing a turnover of Kshs100 million daily. They are even moving to other products like oil, electronics and so on, but the basic structure of it was about agriculture and creating a value chain and making sure there is value addition within our ecosystem. I, therefore, thank Sen. Khaniri for that. I think it is something we all must look at keenly."}
