    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Ministry is, in fact, implementing a private sector development strategy. Part of this strategy is to encourage industries, including the establishment of a motorcycle assembly plant, in this country. There is already a number of formal private companies working in the area of motorcycle assembly. As the hon. Member has noted, it is true that most of these companies import fully assembled motorcycles or parts of motorcycles and assemble them locally. Those companies include Toyota East Africa, the CMC Group, and Car and General. Each of these companies have branches in Kisumu, Nakuru and Eldoret. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wish to inform the hon. Member that, in fact, part of the work of the Ministry of Industrialization in the coming financial year will be to assist towns and urban centres, including Kisumu City, to attract investment within their areas of jurisdiction. I would also like to inform the hon. Member that the Ministry is also implementing the Small and Medium Enterprise Competitiveness Programme, which has been funded to the tune of Kshs1.6 billion. This programme is seeking to assist cities and towns, including Kisumu City, to be able to welcome and nurture industries in their jurisdictions."
