    "content": "Hon. Temporary Speaker, a good Government must enhance participation in international and global trade by providing a conducive environment and a regulatory framework that enables everyone. Even if it is a seller of plastic containers, they should do so within certain standards. I should be able to trade in tomatoes, avocadoes, or any kind of fruits that are doing very well, say, in Makueni. If there is anything we can do to revive our economy, then it is building the SMEs we have. If there is anything to help us pay our debts, then it is creating a conducive environment for SMEs so that they flourish. If there is anything to do, it is to sit down and listen to the stories and testimonies of how we started small trading firms during Kibaki’s time. Many of the traders you have seen go down started their trading business during Kibaki’s time. Then they faced an administration that felt so angered. I am sorry to say this because I was part of the then Jubilee administration. There is nothing as painful as getting into business jealously, where big shots feel threatened by the small SMEs that are coming up. There is nothing as sad as that. It is why we went into trade conflicts and completely killed what Kibaki had revived in this country. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
