    "content": "Look at the counterfeit products that come from the East. Never mind that we still have to send our products to China and Korea. I want to remind the country and this House that in 1963 when we got Independence, Kenya was at par with South Korea and Malaysia in terms of trade. Today, they have overtaken us. I went to Malaysia and I realised that they are miles away. Their export processing centres are doing so well. We tried to do it here, but we did not manage to make headway. So, we should not lament. We should wake up and start working so that our products get a market elsewhere. Counterfeits should be stopped. This is because most of the products that are imported from the Far East are inferior products. No wonder we are importing cancer in this country. A Member mentioned, and I quite agree with him, that importation of some of the food products such as rice can be risky. How do we import rice in Kenya? We have rice here, for example, in Yala at the Dominion Farms. We were doing very well. How do we now import rice from the East? We could be importing the Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO). No wonder we are having a problem with cancer in this country. So, we should stop the counterfeits that come into this country, particularly the consumables."
