    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for allowing me to make my contribution on this matter. When we were growing up in Tana River, there was Hola Cotton Ginnery, which used to be a great source of employment for many people. People would wake up in the morning and head to the ginnery and there would be others coming out from night duty. There was a lot of flow of money within Hola Town, which is the headquarters of Tana River County. Many buyers would also visit Tana River County. There were a lot of activities. Lorries would come to ferry people to work and collect the product. Money used to flow in a predictable way. The town was bustling with economic vibrancy. People would come from far-off towns in Kenya to settle and do business in Hola Town. Unfortunately, Hola Cotton Ginnery died a sad death. When I heard that the Chairperson of the Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries will move this Motion, I called him aside and asked because he had been mentioning various counties where cotton used to be produced and that cotton growing and production needs to be revived. I wanted to know whether he would mention Tana River and he promised that he would come in that direction. I am mentioning this because in some of our counties like Tana River, businesses that are going to spur economic growth, as they used to many years ago when we were growing up, are agri-based. Those businesses that were doing some form of manufacturing from products from farming were the ones that were giving the greatest source of employment to the people of Tana River County.
