    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Hon. Duale is a bit jittery. I also thank the Committee on Delegated Legislation headed by the serious, Hon. Kamket. Scrap metal industry has thrived for a long period of time and created employment opportunities to hundreds of thousands of our people. What we can do instead of killing this industry as has been done by the current Government is to ensure that we put enough measures in place to enable this business to thrive. When it thrives, our people thrive. The unilateral decision that was employed by the Government to apply brakes on this business was insensitive, uncalled for, unwarranted and should not have been allowed to see light of day. That is why this piece of document that has been presented by the Committee is timely. Otherwise we never know how Governments operate. We may have another Government that will be as insensitive as the one that closed the business of dealing in scrap metal."
