    "content": "where we manufacture goods locally. In the process, we promote our local industries and create jobs for our youths. We do not appreciate our local industries yet that is the only way that we can grow economically. Kenya imports over 80 per cent of the goods that we consume, including toothpicks. It is very sad when we promote foreign economies and leak money to those economies. Promoting local industries creates jobs. Egypt is a desert yet they can grow sugarcane. We import sugar from them yet we have the best parcels of land, the best climate and an enabling environment for growing sugarcane, but we do not want to promote that. His Excellency the President, Dr. William Samoei Ruto, said that “ mambo ni matatu”. The third aspect is to export cartels to heaven. His Excellency the President should consider exporting sugar cartels to heaven. Hiyo ya tatu ndio iwe yao . We will then promote our nation’s economy. I support Hon. Salasya on this Motion because it creates jobs for our people. He has been fighting for the revival of Mumias Sugar Company. I am very sure that God will hear his prayers and that Mumias, Sony and Chemelil sugar companies will thrive. Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. God bless you."
