That is our response as a country instead of protecting them. Even in the fish industry, not long ago there was uproar about fish being imported from China. All these are happening in the face of massive youth unemployment. Whatever people may think, in the 1970s and 1980s, there was a major improvement in our public health which resulted in survival of children. We had a youth bulge and improved our education. They have good education but they do not have jobs. They do not have industries that can impart skills to them or employ them. Even those who are skilled do not have jobs and we have a huge brain drain. If you go to some American cities, even in the Silicon Valley, the brightest Kenyans who go there do not come back. In fact, they are given Green Cards on the table. They do not even look for them. They just pick the bright, young people and give them the Greed Cards. This Bill is, therefore, timely.

The only comment I can make about the Agency is that there is need for stakeholder involvement. People in trade and business need to be involved. In Clause 6 (f), there is a provision for three people to be appointed. I presume and hope that those positions will be used to involve the stakeholders. One of the functions of the Agency is to investigate and evaluate all allegations of dumping and subsidisation of imported products in Kenya. All of us have been talking about"
