    "content": "; the small trader, so that they can also know what benefits those departments bring to them. Money is voted for those particular departments and we expect that they should be relevant even to the ordinary citizen in Lokichoggio and, moreso, in Bomet so that they can derive or get the full benefit from those particular departments. So, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we would like to urge the Minister to continue with his overall performance. He should also ensure that the House is informed of his successes. I would also like to urge him to have a slogan. When I was young, we used to hear a slogan: \"Buy Kenyan, Build Kenya\". That is something that can make Kenyans know that if they invest or buy Kenyan products, they are building themselves. The Ministry should put up billboards in that respect. Most of the time, when you go to big stores like Nakumatt Holdings Limited, you will find most of the products there are imported goods. So, we are actually helping other countries to develop their economies. We are not putting value to our own products. What I mean by \"putting value\" is to make Kenyans know that when they buy local produce, they build the Kenyan economy and promote employment creation. So, those are the simple areas that we overlook. We cannot create employment by buying products from China and other countries. We create employment by investing inwardly. That is why the Minister should ensure that all Kenyans know that when we invest internally, we build internally. With those remarks, I beg to support."
