I want to support the Kenya Trade Remedies Bill by Hon. David Ochieng. I know he has taken a lot of time to come up with the Bill. He was still doing a lot of work on the same Bill even before he joined Parliament. It is good that today the Bill is on the Floor of the House. We support this Bill because Kenya is a country that would like to have many industries. We have seen so many industries shutting down because of bad trade practices that have been ongoing in the country, including dumping of cheap goods ...

industries to grow. We will protect our industries with this Bill. We will even take care of goods that have been imported from countries that subsidise their products. Maize flour was Kshs150 the other day but after we subsidised the importation of maize, it has gone to Kshs90. This is the same case with subsidised imports. We bring them at a very low cost at the expense of our industries. We will protect our industries with this Bill once it becomes law. Our industries will grow because we need to create jobs.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I encourage Hon. David Ochieng to come to our Committee because we will look at this Bill in detail on Monday. If we need to consult and enrich the Bill, it would be good for him to be with us, so that we continue working on it. This is a Bill that will take care of our industries.

It is also good that we have very good trade practices in this country although we are complaining that we have seen very many industries closing down. I also want to thank the motor vehicle companies that have decided to come back to Kenya, like Volkswagen and Peugeot. It tells me that we do not have bad practices. It is only that we are not able to protect our local industries. If foreign industries are coming back to Kenya, it means that we need to protect local industries. With this Bill, we will protect our industries.
