    "content": "Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker. Before the rise of the House yesterday, I had already started on the Investment Promotion (Amendment) Bill (Senate Bills No.2 of 2021) and I was talking about investments in Kenya. I was saying that Kenya is a country that is strategically placed in East and Central Africa, has good infrastructure and high-skilled labour. Right now we have got 47 counties where investments can be done. The very reason why I thought of amending this Bill is because many of the issues that are affecting investments, majorly rotate around strategies, opportunities and challenges. Investors will normally look at opportunities availed. In addition to that, the challenges that they are likely to face. Investors will also most likely look at effective and efficient database to provide information of investment opportunities as well as sectors targeted for investment. For example, Kenya is one place to have a lot of investors coming on board. We have the Big Four Agenda, Vision 2030 and 17 SDG programmes. We also have Agenda 2063 that is speaking to issues inclusive and economic road to spur economies in African countries and the issues of the economic bloc that is on board right now. The issue of network and challenges on best practices as well as timely and accurate data and information gathered apart from this, investors will look at policies affecting investments and streamline administrative procedures especially when it comes to dialogue and issues of legal activities. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
