Kuria on Tuesday said his Ministry will ban Mitumba once it
provides an alternative to Kenyans.
The CS’s sentiments attracted mixed reactions with many
criticising him for threatening the Mitumba business which employs thousands of
common people.
Others went ahead to remind him how he protested when Raila
Odinga made similar sentiments during the campaign period.
However, while speaking on Wednesday in Limuru, Kuria said
that he has no apologies to make over his sentiments. Kuria stated that he will
provide alternatives for Kenyans so that they can stop depending on Mitumba.
“Many of those criticizing me don't even know where Gikomba
is. We won't transform this country on hysteria and propaganda. I have no
regrets about what I said, we can make our own clothing here locally and sell it
at affordable prices. A time will come when we will ban Mitumba. I promise to
create over four million jobs in the textile industry," Kuria said.
