    "content": "goods produced in those factories, could not be transported efficiently to their end markets. This led to the closure of several factories some of which had created many employment opportunities. I will give an example of my own Kiambu County in the towns of Thika and Ruiru where we had so many factories in the early years of this country when our infrastructure was fairly sound. Those factories created employment for a huge number of young people but as of now, they have been forced to close down because the goods they produce are not able to get to the market at an efficient cost. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Motion and I wish to re-emphasize once more, because most of my colleagues who have spoken before have had that premonition, earlier on in the morning, the Senator for Kakamega gave what he called an aerial view because he said he passed through my county and observed “in air”. I would like to call that just an “aerial view”. I would like to invite any Senator who wants to get the real position of the people of Kiambu and witness the problems of Kiambu people which are even worse than the areas we may think are marginalized. So, I call for support to this Motion and say that if it was possible because Kiambu is nearer to the city, it would be the best test case for us to see how efficient we would be employing our new motivation to create infrastructure."
