"content": "Hon. Deputy Speaker, I am not suggesting that we do the same here, but we need to revive the Kenyan cotton industry because it is doing badly. We need strategic interventions to build the cotton industry. Mountex Factory in Nanyuki closed down. It used to be the pride of East and Central Kenya, but it is now a pale shadow of what it was. RIVATEX was another one. How long are we going to sit and wait for our industries to close down and then try to revive them? We need to wake up and do something about cotton. We need to think about cotton farmers and give them subsidies. I am not saying that we ban mitumba, but we should produce clothes that are cheaper than the mitumba so that we can put money in the pockets of our farmers. We can then have cheaper and more affordable clothes."
