    "content": "Thank you, very much, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving the Minister that opportunity. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the importation of goods which are available in Kenya is a way of killing the economy. Why would a country like ours allow what we can produce here to be imported? The Minister should address this issue critically. Many hon. Members said that it is very important that we have trade attaches in our embassies. Indeed, I support that because it would reduce most of the trips made by people from Nairobi and hence, save this country a lot of money. We should target the East African and the Great Lakes regions, and also southern Ethiopia and Southern Sudan, so that the trade can improve our economy. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to point out that even though the Minister is a very able person, I would like him to address a very fundamental issue here which borders on corruption, and that is nepotism. The Minister must carefully address the issue of nepotism within parastatals which fall under his Ministry. By doing that, this country will move forward in terms of the improvement of the economy. With those few remarks, I beg to support."
