    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity to add my voice and support the Senator for Nandi, Sen. Cherargei, because of this Statement that concerns the closure of Kibos Sugar Factory by NEMA. For starters, the Government’s Big Four Agenda is industrialization. Therefore, closing Kibos negates the realisation or success of the Big Four Agenda. Secondly, the trend of closing factories in Kenya when we want to open many more factories to create employment is not laudable. It is only the agri-based factories that can be viable. We cannot produce toothpicks and other items; we rely mainly on imports from China. Therefore, if we start closing agri-based companies, I do not know where we are going. It has been stated clearly that the type of employment that we are going to deny our people is almost 13,000 who are directly employed by the company and those who are indirectly employed in the farms."
