    "content": "I want to support the Kenya Trade Remedies Bill and also commend Hon. Ochieng for coming up with it. I believe this Bill is timely since it is trying to address the issue of protecting our industries from unfair competition from established industries outside this country. Our industries are relatively young and may not survive the external competition which in most cases is unfair. We need to ensure that that aspect of unfairness is addressed. The issue of dumping also needs to be addressed. Large industries out there produce goods and sell them in their countries at the market price. They then export them to us after increasing the cost hence killing our industries. This is a very important issue to address. Countries in Asia and Europe are subsidising their dairy and farming industries. These subsidies are killing local industries in this country. This needs to be addressed. Therefore, this is a very timely Bill."
