    "content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for allowing me to finish. What is lacking in this industry is, the committees that are charged with monitoring and also enforcing the rules that are supposed to be followed by the industry are not able to do it because it has become a rogue industry. We have heard our Hon. Members say that even sufurias are taken away when food is boiling. This is a very bad image and it shows a very bad monitoring policy, especially when the Government has spent so much money building our roads and the rails along the roads. You wake up in the morning and you find they are all gone. If a car slides near a river, it goes all the way to the river and those people just perish. Therefore, we need these regulations and rules to be followed to the letter. This Committee needs to come up with good rules that will be followed by this industry. The other thing is that people should not be greedy to the extent of destroying their country and the infrastructure that has been put by the Government. The Government is spending billions and billions of shillings and then somebody just comes and picks metal and sells it for peanuts or for a one day’s meal. That should be discouraged and also punishment should be severe so that The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
