I remember I think in the 1980s, most of the young people would talk about the label of clothes they were wearing. Even look at the ‘Wedding Show,’ you will hear the bride saying “this dress is imported from China!” I looked around all the boutiques in Nairobi, this is China! We are now even claiming China! We boast by saying “this is from the UK; this is from America;” we should be ashamed. This has become a culture, and because of that culture and that sort of socialization, we look at what comes from the west as the better, superior, as what to look out for and, therefore, we do not put enough of a challenge so that we can actually now create a demand for what is Kenyan; what is authentic; what is ours. Buy Kenyan, Build Kenya should be a brand model that should be used across the board in everything that we do. But it cannot just be a question of word and ethos; it has to be a question of ideology; accepting it, buying it, owning it and then doing it for as long as we do not get there, we do not become proud of being Kenyans, we are just proud The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.
