    "content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I also rise to support this Motion. I want to thank the Member who brought it to the House because it is very timely. I want to say that this is not a new idea because I believe we had a factory known as KenRen but due to corrupt practices that have been normal in this country, we were not able establish that factory. I want to believe that this time, since the Motion has been brought to Parliament, the factory is going to be established very soon. Because Kenya relies on agriculture, it has been very expensive to produce. Once we have a factory here, I believe that we will have the inputs which will be readily available. I also want to believe that the factory will be homegrown and, therefore, they will know our soil samples and produce the right kind of fertilizer, so that our produce will be homegrown. We have been having a problem. If you go to all the National Cereals and Produce Board (NCPB) depots, you will find that people are queuing for the subsidized fertilizer, which is never timely. Therefore, with the establishment of this factory, I want to believe that fertilizer will be readily available throughout the year or as and when it is required. There are always very many people who want to go into farming, but because of the cost of the inputs, they are not able. This factory will create jobs directly because people will be employed in the factory and also indirectly because very many people will go into farming. Therefore, we will create more jobs and engage our youth, whose problem is a time bomb. Having a fertilizer factory here will take care of our solid wastes. I believe that since we are going to be integrated soon, any other materials that may be required in the factory will be readily available within East Africa. Therefore, this idea of having a fertilizer factory here in Kenya is very timely. I want to thank the Mover for having thought about this. Due to time and I can see my fellow colleagues wanting to contribute, I beg to support the Motion."
