    "content": " Hon. Speaker, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 44(2)(c), I rise to request for a statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Trade, Industry and Co-operatives regarding measures being taken to boost the manufacturing sector in the country. It is a critical core in the will that is needed to drive Kenya to its ambitious goal of becoming a rapidly industrialised middle-income nation by the year 2030. Expansion in the manufacturing sector is imperative for the national development because of its ripple effect of spurring economic growth. The far-reaching benefits of the value chain, job creation, raising national revenue, purchasing power and enhancing the balance of trade, among others, cannot be over-emphasised. In order for the country to achieve rapid industrialisation, there is need to boost the manufacturing sector."
