    "content": "I have watched people who live along Thika Road near Ruiru as they go to work. Actually that is the road I use as I go to Kitui. I normally see many people going to work to some of the factories there. Whenever I see them I tell myself that surely we can solve the problem of unemployment by building factories like the ones in Ruaraka. Hon. T.J. Kajwang’ represents those people. I am urging the Budget and Appropriations Committee headed by Rev. hon. Mutava Musyimi to put more money into manufacturing. If agriculture cannot absorb so many people, manufacturing can do that. We are declining as a manufacturing country and we are being beaten by other countries. We are the largest manufacturing country in East Africa but if we are not careful we will be overtaken by Uganda and Tanzania. The Fourth Pillar of the BPS seeks to give Kenyans access to social services. This comprises health, education and social protection. If there is a place we should put money then it is health. I am happy that the Government has secured some dialysis and cancer machines for the counties. I must recognise the first lady, Mrs. Margret Kenyatta, for her efforts to save mothers from dying. If there is an area we should put more money, it is in health. Most cancer and kidney patients are referred to Kenyatta National Hospital.
