KENYAN Parliamentary Committee has vowed to stage a strong pressure on the government as it calls on the twin government to quickly revamp key industries that have remained defunct for a long time.
The Finance, Planning and Trade Committee made the resolution after the conclusion of a three day fact finding mission which saw the Committee toured three chief industries in Nyanza Province, Western and Rift valley province.
The Committee lead by its Chairman Benjamin Langat visited troubled Kicomi in Kisumu, Rivatex in Eldoret and Pan Paper Mills in Webuye.
Speaking to the press in Kisumu town after the conclusion of the tour, Kisumu County Women rep and a member of the Committee Mrs. Rose Nyamunga noted that the revival of the textile factories will help to create more jobs for Kenyans.
Nyamunga said that in their report to the government the Committee has recommended the implementation of policies that will support the government plans on the revival of the firms.
Other MPs in the team were Shakeel Shabir, Oburu Odinga and Andrew Toboso among others.
Elsewhere Nyamunga revealed that her office has forged a partnership between top cream businesswomen drawn from the County and the Chase Bank with an aim of boosting development in the region.
The over 200 women under the Umbrella, Kisumu County Women business Association is set to meet its partner, Chase Bank and other stakeholders on Friday.
‘My office is committed to making a difference in the lives of Women, youth and people with disabilities through various projects such as capacity building, table banking, poultry keeping, Dairy cows, goat keeping, provision of clean drinking water, Agribusiness and environmental conservation through tree nurseries for trees and fruits’’, added Nyamunga.
