    "content": "I know it is possible for all of us, as the leaders of this House, to take the challenge of advising the county governments and the National Government to ensure that we add value to the farmers in whatever we grow in our farms; sugarcane, cabbages and other crops. By doing that, we will ensure that our farmers have money in their pockets. For example, in Naivasha, we have an industry that was closed many years back, and I need to check and find out why it was closed. It is a place where they dry and prolong the lifespan of vegetables. Those are some of the things that we need to look at. Then, we come to the Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs), where the President said that he is going to ensure that he supports the mama mbogas, boda bodariders and the matatu industry. If you look at the SMEs, the last time I checked, they were at Kshs16.5 million. We should ensure that we support businesses, which are in the informal sector, what they lack is the financial skills, the market and information. We should challenge the Ministry for Industry, Trade and Co-operatives to support them by ensuring that they give them the information that they require, build their capacity by ensuring that they have the financial skills to grow, increase the market for them and give them the right"
