    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I have been in the telecommunication industry for the last 15 years, and therefore, I do not need any other information from any Member before I finish my submission. I want us to be very cautious and careful whenever we are suggesting or coming up with new laws in this House that look at issues of telecommunication which is the leading sector in this country, so that we do not kill the innovation spirit. Just to bring to the attention of the House, we have the Kenya National Innovation Agency (KeNIA) which is empowered by the Government of Kenya to look at, regulate and license innovations that are coming up in the country. Therefore, I would recommend that even as we make new laws to regulate and split businesses in telecommunication industry, we must remember that we have other agencies that should be put into book so that we can conclusively come up with better laws for this country. I stand to reject the recommendation."
