    "content": "It has been frustrated over and over again by the Ministry because some officials there cannot entertain proposals that would mandate us to look at the issue of dumping critically and independently. They make their money from that. So, I am very proud that Hon. David Ochieng, who is a professional in that field, has finally got this Bill to reach this stage. Hitherto, the situation has been shocking. There is a foreign country we were to negotiate with on issues to do with WTO. The country was supposed to fund the negotiations that were to be held in Mombasa. So, they were actually bribing us! They took us to Mombasa, gave us the money so that we could negotiate against them with regard to the terms that they wanted! But now, we are going to have an independent Trade Remedies Agency. I plead with my colleagues that we finalise this Bill. We shall no longer need to be sponsored just to protect the interests of some of our WTO partners who are actually our worst enemies. There are times that I have gone to WTO, but I found out that it was a waste of time."
