    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity so that I can also contribute to this important Bill that is before us. I want to congratulate Hon. David Ochieng for bringing it. I have gone through it and realised that he has done a lot of research. The Bill is very detailed and I congratulate him. Hon. Deputy Speaker, it is important that this country gets the Kenya Trade Remedies Bill, as soon as possible. This Bill encourages Kenyans and businessmen in this country to prepare to go into industrialisation. There are crops we produce in this country in form of food. If we had industries and people who can add value to these goods, we could do well in this country. This is a very important Bill for us. It encourages Kenyans to start creating employment for our young men by starting these industries alongside other things that we import from other countries. It is important for this House to approve this Bill so that implementation can take off. This country needs to ensure that Kenyans enter into industrialisation and this type of trade so that our country can move economically and our people can benefit from this. It is good that Hon. Ochieng thought of this Bill. Now, I am happy that we have such kind of Members. Finally, I want to congratulate you, Hon. Deputy Speaker for taking a bold step to vie for the position of governor. It is good for us to have women coming up and leading this country. I know you can do it. I want to thank Members of Parliament who have gone through nominations everywhere in this country. People even think that the nomination process was bad, but since I have been in this country for a long time, I will tell you that this is the way to democracy in this country. I want to encourage those who have gone through and those who have lost to come together so that the 12th Parliament can be respected. I thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I thank Hon. David Ochieng and Members of Parliament who have positively contributed to this Bill. We are going in the right direction. I strongly support the Bill."
