"content": ", where they can compare notes and so on. However, human beings being what they are, there may be undue and unnecessary competition. If everyone has his own industry in a corner and may be the economies of scale, as put by various Members more so, Sen. M. Kajwang, I think it would be important that we look for the best way of looking at this at the Committee Stage. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the other issue is that there are many opportunities which could come from land which we have in plenty. The Bill does not necessarily mean manufacturing in terms of metal or just goods which are here. Even industries which are starting from scratch would be accommodated. This week I spent quite a bit of time with a team in the Adhoc Committee looking at the county headquarters in the north eastern and coast regions and so on. Although we use the word “semi-arid”, it is not that arid. With irrigation and other systems, those areas can produce quite a lot. In most of those places if you just produce goods, but then fail to add value for the end benefit to the producer to be significant, then the encouragement to further investment to the area will be very difficult.
