    "content": "type of bread it was. He told me that it was a 400 grams bread. I told him to go to the shops to find out how much it was. I noted that there was a lot of misinformation to our youth, the so- called Generation Z, and that has caused them to riot in the streets. I support this Bill because of the direction this country is now taking – that is consuming locally produced products. It allows local producers to manufacture the products we usually import. This will improve the economy and create employment in our country. I am saying this because we have the Eco Levy. It discourages the importation of finished products and encourages local production. There is also a tax on clinker from outside the country to encourage our local production. When this happens, most of the people who will benefit are the youth who are demonstrating in the streets and being misinformed. Most of them will be employed. They will not be idle in the streets. They will be vulnerable as they are being used by some people and leaders in this country to push their agenda. I see a situation in this country where we want to take off. I recall we were at the same economic level as countries like Malaysia and Singapore. They took this route, took off and are far away from us in terms of industrialisation. This is the right route to follow. I advise Kenyans to be patient with this country. If they want to know that we are on the right track to development and our benefit, they should see what has happened. Previously, the price of bread was very high when the Government took over. The price of maize and flour was so high. Those prices have come down because of the policies this country is embracing. All that we are crying over will stabilise if the wananchi give the leadership of this country some time."
