    "content": "Cotton has been part of our economic journey because it allowed our people to get into the cash economy. Prior to that, we were trading using barter. That is the reason why one of the counties in Kenya is called Kisumu. Kisumu is derived from the Luo word “kisuma” which is about barter. Our people would come with fish from Homa Bay, walk over to Kisumu and exchange the fish with other delicacies that the people of that area produced. Due to cotton, the concept of cash was introduced to our people. As a result, we had the first bank accounts and the first people who could go to shops and buy items to put up modern structures."
