    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I support the Departmental Committee Chair on this amendment. As you know, we have had a talk show on how we need to create employment, move investment, come up with special economic zones in the international waters of this country – Lake Victoria included – and how we are going to make Dogo Kundu area in Mombasa a trading hub for the region. We are privileged to have our country as a logistical hub for anybody who is accessing East and Central Africa. We are blessed with a coast line which we have not adequately utilised. I urge this House to support this amendment because we need to move from talking to action. We want to make our coastline to be like Dubai. Dubai is not manufacturing anything but anybody who is manufacturing in the Far East is marketing their products in the African market and the Middle East, through Dubai. Let us support the amendment because we need to move from talking about creating special economic zones to making it a reality for this country."
