    "content": "(b) The KIE has, since 1967, provided credit to 30,468 entrepreneurs to the tune of Kshs2.7 billion. In fact, some of the most successful companies in this country have been incubated by KIE. Examples are East African Spectre, Mastermind Tobacco, Haco Industries, Kuguru Foods, Mareba Tiles, Farm Engineering in Kisumu, Polythene Industries in Mombasa, Makina Textiles in Meru among many other companies. The KIE has trained well over 228,000 indigenous entrepreneurs in specific hands-on training such as tanning leather products and so on, as well as business management. (c) The Ministry has taken many concrete steps to ensure that KIE is expanded. The KIE has been “lumped up” so that we can achieve the stated objective of this country being industrialized by the year 2030. So, Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have got in private sector management. We have engaged technical advisors from United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) to help to improve the strategy of doing business. We have, in fact, also undertaken measures to rehabilitate existing estates as well as to focus on constituency industrial development centres, which we are piloting with UNDP."
