The resources are not earmarked for a specific region. The resources are availed to development finance institutions, including KIE, and are availed to all Kenyans. However, a specific region that takes initiative to promote business obviously stands a better chance of attracting, not just the financial resources, but investors into that area. I know that the hon. Member may be aware that, for example, last year, as part of the Millennium City Celebrations, Kisumu City hosted a very elaborate several-days event to attract business into the City. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I encourage the hon. Member and, indeed, all hon. Members to take initiative to ensure that our towns and centres are working to attract investments into their jurisdictions."}
