    "content": "Hon. Speaker, I want to comment on the nominee, Mr. Julius Korir not because I know him but because of the docket he is going to occupy. This is the docket of Industry and Enterprise Development. Enterprise development and industry is going to be the engine of this nation. I propose that these nominees should not let us down. We should take them by their word. They should be able to demonstrate and move this country as far as enterprise is concerned. This country has funds such as the Youth Enterprise Development Fund, Women Enterprise Development Fund, Uwezo Fund and many others. To me, those are the seed beds for economic development. We now need to get to the next level so that those nascent entrepreneurs can be supported to move to higher levels of growth, that is, SMEs and large industries. Hon. Speaker, I support these appointments. I would like to cite the example of Betty Maina who has been appointed to another Ministry. I have known her for some time now. She was in the Institute of Economic Affairs and I can testify her achievements. She was also at the Kenya Association of Manufacturers (KAM) and I can testify her achievements there. People like her should have been given a chance to serve this country long ago as Permanent Secretary. I would have contributed much more, especially concerning the people I know like Betty Maina. I support."
