    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I think the slur which was used by the Member for Muhoroni, Hon. K’Oyoo, needs to be made illegal, so that no one else will make the mistake of calling my constituency by that name. My constituency is called “Emurua Dikirr”. I hope the Leader of the Majority Party will be fair enough to pronounce it, although, as I said before, nowadays he speaks with an American accent. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I wish to second this Bill. The exciting part of this Bill is the fact that Kenya, like any other developing and developed country, is moving from the previous normal ways of doing business and industrialising. This Bill is setting Kenya ready for the serious development leap that is needed. We must also understand that our country has been facing challenges in foreign investment. The major reasons have been either infrastructural, or the fact that our development partners are not willing to invest here. Other issues relate to the question of insecurity. The visit of the great man of the United States, despite the travel advisories, was a great show of confidence in our country, that although we face security challenges like other countries, this country is making serious strides in matters of security. The creation of these Special Economic Zones is geared towards taking this country to the next level. It is geared towards putting the country on the international map, and allowing both local and international investors to make serious investments in the country. If we were to look at this Bill, it cites special economic zones, industrial parks and ICT parks which have been in place and which have been making serious contribution, although this country has not seriously fulfilled the plans it had."
