    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Dr Nyikal, I tried, but we are bound by the same rules made by this House. I appreciate the concerns that Members of the National Assembly have had on this particular matter. I appreciate the quality of the debate that has been made by all of you. I also appreciate the work the Committee is doing to ensure that we enhance local manufacturing. I take note of one of the comments made by Hon. Mutuse. One of the questions we asked ourselves during consideration of this amendment was: do we really have local transformer assemblers and manufacturers in this country? We visited some of the firms and established that there are investors in this country who have invested heavily in assembly and are willing to move into manufacturing parts once this Bill is passed. As I said in my moving remarks, we must become selfish and support our own rather than become a supermarket of imported products from across the globe. We must learn from what global leaders like Americans have done, be selfish, and support local manufacturing."
