    "content": "industry. The NARC Government came to power on the promise of creating 500,000 job opportunities every year. The most important vehicle of doing so would have been the Jua Kali industry. The Government should have set aside, at least, Kshs3 billion or Kshs4 billion to go towards this industry, which is being pocketed through Anglo Leasing and other scams. Are we July 25, 2006 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 2319 really trying to improve the economy of this country? Are we just representing voters here? Do we have the interest of this country at heart? Do we want to help the youth of this nation? The Minister was lamenting here about employment creation. This Government promised Kenyans that it will create 500,000 jobs every year. One of the ways to do so, is by improving the Jua Kali sector. By doing so, many of our young people would be employed. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the East African Portland Cement Company reaps resources from my constituency. Recently, it took donations worth over Kshs6 million to Southern Sudan. It could have instead built three secondary schools in my own constituency where it gets the resources. Do we really want to improve the economy of this nation by supporting the economy of another country? We are killing our own people!"
