That is why we had these industries coming up. How will we help our young people as we look at the issue of industries and take them back on how our Indian brothers brought up their children? When we look at how they bring up their children, the children will always want to do “what my dad did”; start with a small shop and end up with a supermarket like Nakumatt.

We cannot go for chairs and uniforms from China when we have Zambia, Mozambique, Uganda and Malawi coming to Nairobi to buy our own. They look at us and wonder The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
