    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I take this opportunity to thank Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo who introduced this Motion to the Senate today. He has talked about industries that we used to have in the 1960s and 1970s but which have since been abandoned by the Government. These are the industries that would be employing our people. If we revived these industries, we would provide employment for our youth. I would like to challenge the Government, if it has to overcome the challenge of unemployment, it should come up with a clear policy to deal with the issues which have hindered our development. We have all the necessary raw materials in the country. We have enough animals which can produce leather. My county alone can produce enough leather and even some for export. We can also produce cotton. We had many cotton industries previously but these have since been abandoned. I urge the Government to revive all the industries that have been abandoned and stop the cheap importation of materials which we already have in our localities. I support the Motion."
