    "content": "Thank you very much, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to speak to this Bill in this way: You realise that this Bill is being sponsored by the Cabinet Secretary for Industrialisation. Where countries know the role of steel, metal and where countries know the place of metallurgy in their economies, they do not bring scrap metal Bills. They do not do that. They look at the industry holistically and make laws that ensure that the whole system of promoting the use of metal products in production is included. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, if you go to America, the amount of money spent in developing and maintaining the steel industry and in ensuring that this survives is large. If you go to Europe, the kind of money spent in developing that industry to ensure that it survives is large. The reason that Germany and America make cars and Kenya does not make cars is that they have taken the metallurgy and steel industry to be of paramount importance and so, what they do is to put aside resources to develop that industry. I thought this country would do better if we developed a holistic policy on how we want to deal with those kinds of matters so that this becomes an appendix regulation and a footnote on how we will deal with the by-products of steel."
