    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me a chance to contribute on this very important Vote. Mr. Speaker, Sir, from the outset, I would like to commend the Minister for Trade and Industry. He has performed well above his predecessors. Two years ago, we attended a Ministerial Conference in Cancun and the Minister was able to organise all the delegates from Nairobi. We made a mark in the negotiations in Cancun. Six months ago, he again portrayed a good image of this country and this continent, when he chaired a session of the World Trade Organisation (WTO) Conference in Hong Kong. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to talk about the globalisation of trade. This country liberalised its trade terms in 1994 without setting up a proper system for liberalisation. As a result of that haphazard liberalisation, which was done in Calabash in Morocco, when hon. M'Mukindia went there with his Personal Assistant and committed this country to liberalisation, we have lost a 2388 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES July 26, 2006 lot of our industries. Our textile manufacturing industry has collapsed. We are importing a lot of textile products from countries which produce them cheaply."
