    "content": " Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. It is always gratifying when a Bill is supported 100 per cent. I thank Senators who have supported the Bill, spoken and given their opinion on the Bill. Everybody has given it a nod. I thank Sen. Murkomen who seconded the Bill; Sen. Olekina who spoke and made a good number of comments on it and wanted some things re-looked at; Sen. Cherargei, Sen. Waqo, Sen. Shiyonga and Sen. (Dr.) Ochillo-Ayacko, who also has made very strong comments, including giving his own example, which is a very practical way of debating. I thank all of them. This Bill tries to combine three different legislations into one and make it easier for us to deal with landlords and tenants issues. The issues that have been discussed here are as old as we can remember. The laws have been in existence for such a long time. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, even where there are no laws, tribunals come up in the villages and places where there are not actual tribunals and there are people who can resolve some of these issues. However, this now brings in an official involvement of one tribunal being the standard. For those who have misgivings, I suggest to them that they should look at this document in detail. They should also remember that this document requires that regulations be made, and that is where the crack is going to be. The issue is going to be in the regulations. I, therefore, recommend that we pass the Bill as is. If possible, during the moments of subsidiary legislation, we can have what is required. I say that because if you look at the Schedule of the Bill, you will find details on the relationship on what the roles of the tenant and the landlord are. The leasee and the lessor have all been given specific responsibilities. This makes it easier to put together three different laws. With those few remarks, Mr Temporary Speaker, Sir, I would like to thank the Members who have contributed. Pursuant to Standing Order 61(3), I request you to defer putting of the question to a later date. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply."
