    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, as I rise to support this amendment, but my concern is how this will benefit us. Economic zones have been created elsewhere, but my concern is how we can ensure that the Kenyan investors, especially the youth and the women, will draw from this even as we look at bringing in more investors. In markets like these, competition in terms of financial muscle or matters is a big issue. I would have wanted the Chair, and I hope he is listening, to give special rates and incentives to the youth and women, so that then, in terms of that distribution in the economic zone, even as we give this particular tax incentive, then we can draw the youth and the women. The country, as you can see, has a special interest in terms of dealing with special groups. I am looking at the future. The youth is for today and the future. I know Hon. Jimmy may not be very near the youth, but I believe that he represents a large part of the youth. Therefore, his grandchildren need to benefit from the economic zone on a very serious note. If you look at the Dubai and Singapore markets, you may not see very many youth benefiting from this. I think we need to look at that. I support."
