"content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am aware of the history of Machakos. I do not know why it never became the capital city of Kenya, but it nearly did. I said that we intend to conduct an investment forum in Machakos. We have already done it in a few towns, for example, Kisii, Kisumu, Nyahururu, and Kapenguria. We will conduct the same in Machakos. As a Government, we promote industrialization by providing an enabling environment for investors to invest. It is true that Machakos is not so far away from Nairobi. The road has been built. There is now a good access road to Machakos Town. The section of the road between December 04, 2008 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 3885 Nairobi and Athi River is being constructed. Therefore, Machakos Town should be very attractive to investors. We will do everything possible to promote the town. Mr. Speaker, Sir, recently, we inaugurated the construction of a cement factory called the National Cement Factory. It is located about 10 kilometres from Machakos Town. So, there are some efforts to take industries in the rural areas, including Machakos Town."
