    "content": "What can bring such change to this country? It is through coming up with policies to enhance or bring about Export Processing Zones not only in our constituencies but also in our villages. This is the only way that we will create employment. This will also help us see and cover the gaps of raw materials in manufacturing. It will also transform our education system which is not working for us. We have graduates with degrees and diplomas who do not have any proper skills. You can find a graduate who cannot even cook ugali . This has to end in this country. To end this and empower our youth to have skills, we need to go through the manufacturing route. The cost of doing business in this country is prohibiting. As my colleagues said, electricity which is a major factor of production is highly expensive. There are countries that have gone the route that we want to go. What is wrong with us? What did these people do right and we follow such routes? Why is the world manufacturing everything in China? It is because the factors of production are cheap. One of the factors of production that is extremely expensive in this country is not only electricity but also land. The price of land in this country is prohibitive to investors. All these are things that must be looked at critically for this country to progress. I support the Motion and congratulate the Mover. I urge her not to leave it at that but push it into a Bill and bring it back to this House. Let us legislate it into a law that we can enforce. With those few remarks, I support the Motion. Thank you for giving me this opportunity to contribute. Have a happy International Women's Day."
