    "content": "I also support the idea of building the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR), which is a very modern railway. It is a positive thing. I have heard very many people say that the SGR will be used to import things in an easier way. The Chinese will be able to export their goods to us because everything we have in our shops is made in China. The SGR will ensure that their goods reach our market in a fast and more efficient way. We need to re-look into the idea of encouraging exports from this country, so that we do not invest massively in infrastructure to benefit imports only. We need to ensure that our exports benefit from the funds we are investing in infrastructure. I will encourage Hon. Ochieng, the owner of this Bill, to re-look into the idea behind the Kenya Trade Remedies Agency. I do not know whether it is a duplication of duty because we have the Competition Authority of Kenya, which tries to address unfair trade. The Competition Authority of Kenya can be expanded so that it can even deal with issues of imports and The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
