    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, one of the issues that I think is important also is parastatals reform. It is important that there are recommendations on how these parastatals can be reformed, because with passage of time some of them may not be relevant. The reforms that were undertaken the other day of trying to merge parastatals were good, although again, I noticed something which may not be very good in the long- term. If you merge so many of them into one corporation, the result will be one big organization that will have a problem of management. However, I think there should be recommendations on how reforms should be undertaken, and it should be in a way that after some time there is a total review. This is so that we identify those which are not efficient and get them out. Some Government companies were killed and they include Kisumu Cotton Mills (KICOMI), which was later bought by private individuals. You find that people in Nyanza and parts of Busia in the former Western Province would have benefited if the Government became interested and got the cotton industry running."
