Wakili Sigei","speaker_title":"","speaker":null,"content":"Very well. Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. My supplementary question is about the efforts that the Ministry is undertaking in a bid to enhance the leather industry in terms of value addition and the improvement in the technological aspect of the tanneries that are currently in place. I recall that sometimes back in the Lake Basin counties, where Bomet County is a member, there were efforts to set up a tannery that would serve the region. Currently, there are 14 tanneries and we do not have one around that region. So, I would be very happy to hear what efforts the Hon. Cabinet Secretary and the Ministry are taking to enhance that aspect."}
