"content": "I was in America the other day on matters coffee promotion. I realised that in a previous show, Kenya was rated as the leading country. I was surprised to learn that presently, Rwanda, which had been at war, has overtaken Kenya for reasons that we all know. So, we must do what it takes to promote our products locally. I want to take this opportunity to thank His Excellency the President. The Rift Valley Textiles (RIVATEX) in Eldoret was doing very well until we started importing synthetic products from elsewhere. We were exporting products from RIVATEX, Thika Textile Mills and Kisumu Cotton Mills (KICOMI) and we were doing very well. What happened to our country? We are leaders here. Something went wrong somewhere and we killed cotton production in Western Kenya and in Ukambani. Cotton was produced locally in this country. We stopped having the agricultural extension services which would have helped our farmers. We went for the white-collar jobs and forgot about our own initiatives."
