    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, let me first make a correction. This company had 1,000 employees as of January, 2008. Because of the loss in the market share, currently, there are 625 employees. So, we have lost close to 400 jobs. The hon. Member has stated that I should investigate whether the imports, from Bangladesh in particular, are subsidised or not. All I know is that these imports are cheap. Their production cost is low. Their labour cost is lower than ours. I also know that their energy cost is much lower than ours. So, they are able to manufacture jute bags at a much lower cost than us. Mr. Speaker, Sir, imported jute bags cost about Kshs90 per bag whereas sisal bags cost Kshs120 per bag. So, there is a differential there. It is close to Kshs30, which is substantial."
