    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, I beg to give the notice of the following Motion which is directed to the Department of Industrialization and Enterprise Development:- THAT, aware that the textile industry in Kenya is crumbling following the closure of several textile firms due to unhealthy competition arising from cheap imports of textile and apparel products; concerned that the Government imports most of the uniforms for the disciplined forces and other uniformed staff, thereby, compounding the problem faced by the industry; noting that the national Government would provide the biggest market for these local products; concerned further that the closure of these firms led not only to loss of huge revenue, but also to loss of employment opportunities; the Senate calls upon the national Government to urgently formulate a policy and review the procurement regulations to compel all government departments and agencies to procure textiles and leather products locally with a view to redeeming the Kenya textile industry and creating more revenue sources."
