    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, do you know which plants those toothpicks come from? We do not know! So, we are sometimes consuming things after lunch and dinner and we end up going for checkups in hospital, yet we have our trees that we trust here. So, you can imagine; toothpicks and some of the simple things that we keep talking about here are not made here, yet we are very good at saying “these toothpicks are imported!” What a shame that we can do that. In conclusion, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, at one time, we went with the then Minister for Agriculture – who is now the Deputy President – to one particular place in Pokot called Nakwamuru. Apart from Nyanza, that is the best place where cotton grows. After that, Moi University bought the firm and the farmers were not paid again. So, there are many things that can be done if we are serious. RIVATEX East Africa Ltd RIVATEX has just bought new machinery to upgrade its factory. I am told they are capable of producing 20,000 metres of woven and knitted fabric per day, which is capable of clothing about one million servicemen and women. This can be done within a short time, 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."
