    "content": "instance, if you are a resident here, but you are not Kenyan-born and you are doing business, when your papers expire and you want to renew them, it takes a long time with a lot of activities going on at the immigration offices. The Directorate of Immigration has really done a wonderful job despite the challenges of COVID-19 and the huge number of Kenyans making enquiries. The Ministry should make sure that these investors in the country have their paperwork processed and the necessary due diligence done in good time, so that the industry can be lifted to employ more young people. They should also promote SMEs even the boda boda business. The boda boda people have been very useful in the country by making the movement of people and goods faster, but unfortunately, many of them are not careful when riding and many have lost their lives while using boda bodas out of carelessness or lack of observing traffic rules. People also steal boda bodas and take them across the border to even reconfigure them into other machines for use in water transport. This is an area that is employing many young people and has also led to self-employment. It is part of the SMEs. We need to look at that, so that there is more support in SMEs. I want to repeat that this is important and that is how we are going to restart post COVID-19 era so that we can stabilise our economy faster and normalise production and movement of goods. I support this Bill. I look forward to making more and better amendments during the Third Reading, so that we can serve Kenyans better. I really insist on separation of powers and we must do our duty because we are accountable to the people. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker."
