What I wanted to speak on next is that the President has said: “Buy Kenya, build Kenya.” This spirit of giving the youth a chance should also be used to safeguard local businesses and local contractors. I have a situation in my constituency now where laying of pipes on an irrigation scheme is being given to a Chinese company. I think merely laying pipes can be done by any plumber and I have many of them in my constituency and Karachuonyo Constituency. Getting a Chinese company to come and lay pipes surely is not buying Kenya to build Kenya. Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I support the Bill."}
