    "content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, Mr. Musila mentioned about the Kenya Bureau of Standards (KEBS) and Mr. Shakeel wanted to know why we have allocated them Kshs230 million. We actually gave them Kshs230 million annually for development of standards, maintenance and buying of new equipment. New computerized and analytical equipment come into the market every now and then. If we are to maintain a standard that is recognized internationally, we have to have the right equipment and hence the need to give them annual grants. Mr. Wetangula mentioned that we should do something about energy. The Government is doing something about energy. As you know, we are trying to go into green energy. Green energy includes wind energy, geothermal energy and solar energy. These sources of energy are cheaper and cleaner for our environment. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I may not go into all that Members have said. Mrs. Ongoro mentioned something about the closure of industries. She said that employers in Kenya should not exploit people. Investors do not come to this country to exploit people. They come to make money. They come to make a return on their capital by investing. They want a productive labour force. Fortunately, our labour productivity costs the highest in the East African region. I am not suggesting that our labour is totally productive or has reached the peak. There is always room for investment."
