    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have the response and we have also given the Senator a copy. However, I shall read. The question was to explain why the country still imports over 90 per cent of its footwear requirement at a great cost in terms of foreign exchange and employment creation. The response is: Kenya’s leather production and exports consist mainly 90 per cent of the semi-processed tan that is wet blue with some finished leather, some leather footwear, handbags, travel wear and other leather products. The sector has, in the past five years, moved away from export of raw hides and skins to processing and exporting of wet-blue. Despite this development, the sector is still a net foreign exchange consumer with footwear being the major import and wet-blue being the major export. Currently, Kenyan leather is produced and sold as a commodity primarily as semi-processed wet-blue leather with little quality or designed differentiation.
