    "content": "We have Export Processing Zones (EPZs) in the country and a lot has been said about them. We have devoted a lot of resources into our EPZs with a view of ensuring that we cure the trade deficit or imbalance. However, we are informed that, in fact, some exporters from outside have set up base in our EPZs where they process goods which later on, they bring back to the country as their own products. That does not cure the trade imbalance. We have to look for innovative ways to cure the trade deficit so that, as a country, we move towards an economic balance of trade in our favour. The balance of trade now does not favour us at all, and that is why this Motion is very important."
