"content": " Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. More than 20 private sector institutions and 300 persons from the entire Gusiiland attended the forum. Other participants included Government agencies, financial institutions, private institutions and technology providers. The Kenya Industrial Estates (KIE) and my ministry are providing a document on transforming the soapstone industry to adopt the latest technology in the field. On bananas, the Ministry, through the Kenya Industrial Research and Development Institute (KIRDI), is working with the Ministry of Agriculture to promote value addition on bananas. The Ministry had donated a building at Kisii Agricultural Training Centre which KIRDI is renovating in order to install a banana processing equipment worth Kshs5 million. The kitty is already in Kisii awaiting installation. The centre will be used as a demonstration centre for value addition in bananas and other regional crops. After successful development of the banana products, an investor will be identified to put up a banana plant. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, on the sugar sector, establishment of sugar industries is part of the Governmentâs industrialization policy aimed at strengthening local production. Similarly, the Ministry is forging close ties with the Government agencies and the private sector to promote sugar subsector industries. Alongside this, availability of energy, land and other infrastructure will be required to leverage the establishment of the sugar industry in the region."
