    "content": "This is because the contribution of the manufacturing sector to the GDP is low and this may make the projections not to be achieved, hon. Speaker. More so, the Kenyan population is only under 40 million people and this, if it is the only market we are looking at, we may not grow as much as we are projecting. The BPS should come up and tell us how this manufacturing is going to position itself with respect to COMESA wider market because the Kenya population which is slightly under 40 million people is not sufficient to provide meaningful push in the production capacity. With those few remarks, I find that the BPS should be more elaborate than it has been presented here. The figures are okay but what makes those figures is not clear hon. Speaker. We need this to be given to us a little bit earlier in future because the way it is being given we can only look at the figures. We are being given this thing hurriedly such that the only thing we can do is the accounting bit of it but not the policy bit of it because that needs time to read, research and analyse. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, with those few remarks I support the figures as presented and the ceilings and I particularly like to appreciate the fact that the oversight institutions have been given money to be able to fight corruption I support the Motion as amended twice."
