    "content": "We are facing another challenge of forex exchange and the constant volatility of our foreign exchange because of demand of the dollar in procurement of basic needs. Therefore, this Bill has come at the right time. We now need to bring our minds together as a nation from the Legislative and Executive point of view so that the little resources we have can be put in the right place. We can produce the right materials to sort out our problems because we are looking at a domestic market of 50 million plus Kenyans who need clothes. Cotton is the main fabric used in children clothing from their earlier stages. Also, we cover ourselves with cotton beddings. Therefore, this is a serious issue. We need to put the little resources we have in the right direction so as to address the basic needs of human life that is food, shelter, and clothing. I support this Bill because Rivatex East Africa Limited is ready to serve this country. We need to bring back KICOMI and many other sectors so as to create employment and a market valuation system that will stabilise our economy. If we go this direction, Kenya will be saved and remain sovereign. We are not going to live by the mercy of the donors, but stand to live as a country, Kenya and appreciate that this is our economic activity. Thank you very much for this opportunity."
