    "content": "graduating from universities: engineers, mechanics, electrical engineers and automobile engineers. Two months ago, there was somebody who had a former student who had a First- Class Honours Degree in Mechanical Engineering but he had no job. He was cultivating somewhere in Murang’a. If this industry works and it has potential, that person cannot do manual jobs in the farms. We have students from polytechnics and TVET institutions which we are constructing in each constituency. The designers will get jobs and incomes, and then increase the productivity and GDP of this country. If we produce new cars, they will reduce pollution. It is one of the factors which contributes to climate change. It will save our foreign exchange because we use a lot of it to import cars. That is why the value of the dollar appreciates every day and our shilling goes down every day. If we buy these products—the cars and spare parts— from this country, we will not face this kind of thing. When you import something, you export a job. As I stated before, we have too many youths who need this job. As we implement the Policy, we also need to think about our roads because they are very congested. Traffic jams are everywhere. You cannot move. We need to design our roads in such a way that we have walkways for pedestrians and bicycles. Germany has the best road system. There are paths where bicycles are used, motorcycles are used and where people walk. These are the kinds of things which we need to think about, so that at least we move this country forward. With those few remarks, thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker."
