    "content": "The relocation of industries from this country because of unfair competition and industries being well protected is well addressed in this Bill. That is why we need to support it. We also need to address other issues which affect relocation of industries from this country such as taxation. Taxation on industries in this country is high. We, therefore, need to relook into this matter so that goods from this country can be competitive. The cost of imports for our industries needs to be addressed. It is not just the unfair competition but there are certain issues which ensure that the cost of our products is high. This will make foreign industries that are well established outdo our local industries. We need to relook at the cost of imports. If we do not address the cost of imports, then the cost of the end product will be high. We also need to address the cost of electricity. It is unfair when we talk about clean energy all the time and say that we cannot use the type of energy which was used by the currently industrialised countries. They used coal to develop their countries. At this point in time when they are well off, they are saying that we need to use green energy. That disadvantages us, as a country. We need to look into those issues."
