    "content": "Local investors should be encouraged. Definition of a local investor is given and how they can come to the fore and do what is expected therein. The establishment of these institutions starting with the board, the council and the Authority and how they should run I think is the big strength of this Bill, especially under devolution. The idea of entrenching investment within the counties and under devolution will catapult investment in this country and better development for the future. I am sure the Committee of Tourism, Trade and Industrialization will fastrack it. We will also be able to get public participation. We will hear what people are saying and how we can infuse their ideas into this Bill so that we address one of the things that many developing countries have a problem with. We already know we have a problem of borrowing. Sometimes we are borrowing whereas we could invest a little bit more. We have a big force of youth who are looking for these opportunities. We can unleash it for employment and give people the services they so desire. Madam Temporary Speaker, I beg to second. Congratulations, Sen. (Dr.) Milgo. We are looking forward to this Bill becoming an Act."
