    "content": "A Committee of this House went to China to look at the issue of bamboo production. In the Financial Year 2013/2014, the Ministry of Environment, Water and Natural Resource asked for Ksh5 billion to develop bamboo. We laughed at them because we did not know what they were talking about. When we went to China, we realised what they were talking about. There is a county in China with only 7,000 acres of bamboo, but it is earning UD$18 billion a year. Kenya’s natural bamboo covers 135,000 acres. We are not investing in that natural resource to be able to reap revenue out of it. We are busy importing toothpicks made of bamboo from china when our bamboo rots in the fields."
