"content": "The matters raised by the distinguished Members have been noted. I think partly the reason this Bill is slightly out of sync with the new Constitution is because we published it before the effective date. I think we will have an opportunity to clarify those references to the Cabinet Secretary at a later stage. It is useful for me to point that this Bill has become necessary because we intend to update the laws of this country continuously. The old Act is more than 50 years old. We hope that by this Act, we will bring the law in conformity with international best practices."

It is one of the undertakings I gave when this House acceded to my nomination to this Office.

We will be bringing to this House more legislation supporting the environment in which Kenyans and foreign investors do business."

"content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am very conscious of the fact that as hon. Wamalwa has pointed out, we have a large group of our young people who are trying to do business in various areas such as Information Technology (IT). They require from us a simple regulatory framework in which they can do this business. This Partnership Bill is an excellent opportunity to answer to those demands. It is simple; it is clear. The reporting provisions are very straight forward. We hope that the majority of our people, especially our young people will be able to regulate their business in this way. Indeed, I am conscious of the references made to special circumstances of women and who, as you know, are the majority of the participants in the chamas as we call them. This law is a wonderful opportunity for the chamas to regulate their affairs in a simple, but clearly effective manner. We, in the Attorney General’s Office, would like to be supportive of those initiatives. I have noted, therefore, all the comments made, all of them very valuable and all of them very positive. I thank Members again."
