    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also want to join my colleagues in congratulating Dr. Ojiambo for bringing those amendments to the Cotton Bill. This is a milestone in our country. Cotton is very important, particularly in dry areas. I also wish to express my disappointment, just like the Deputy Leader of Government Business, and Mr. M'Mukindia, by saying that we are very few here and yet, we are discussing a matter which is so crucial and important to this country. I am glad that the Minister for Agriculture is here. But we also need the Minister for Co-operative Development and Marketing here! Both need to join hands and, hopefully, get budgetary support from the Minister for Finance to revive the cotton industry. That is the only way we can revamp the textile industry in this country. We really must now walk the talk. We should not just talk about these things and not put the money there. It is only through the revival of the cotton industry that we can reduce poverty. I want to congratulate the Mover and hope that we will change the cotton and textile industries. With those few remarks, I beg to support."
