"content": "A few years back, this country was doing very well. Members have listed industries which have died. We have to repeat it so that those who are in charge or tasked with them can realise that we are not doing well. Look at the shoe industry. We had Twiga Industry and Bata Shoe Company in Limuru. I have not heard about Twiga Industry anymore. I know that the Limuru factory is not working much because most of the shoes are imported. If you look at the textile industry, you will find there was KICOMI, Fine Spinners in Thika and RIVATEX in Eldoret. These industries have died and yet they were creating job opportunities. At the same time, we are happy that Kenyans are wearing second hand clothes while, as a country, we are almost sufficient in textile production."
