    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I agree totally that we, as a country, need to sort the devil of corruption. The whole of that evil needs to be removed from our eyes. All those scandals have to be brought to a conclusion at some point or the other. But in terms of the Doing Business Report, the ten indicators that the World Bank look at are; one, starting a business. That is one of the indicators and the easy of doing that. Obviously, there is less seeking opportunities within all those procedures, which needs to be handled. Dealing with construction permits, because construction is a big driver to the industry, the ease of employing workers and, I think, within there, Kenya is ranked very poorly because the cost of employment in this country is ranked as one of the highest in the region. I think within the labour laws and within the agitation by our trade unions, the freedom that has been given has now worked against us in terms of everyone coming to this country and saying that the cost of employing labour in Kenya is higher than in most of the other places within the region. The other one is, obviously, registering a property and we have a whole sequence of about ten procedures that one has to go through."
