We have had to go to court as instructed by, for example Keroche Industries, which is a local industry that has struggled and employs large numbers of Kenyan people; competition law does not protect such companies. Such companies are completely locally owned by Kenyan shareholders. I would have expected this Bill to address issues which are bothersome. The Attorney- General’s office will tell you of issues that have been brought up by Kenyan companies in Kenyan courts regarding unfair competition and dumping by companies that have a lot of money, and that are given special exemptions to operate in Kenya to the detriment of the Kenyan people. When this Bill goes to the technocrats, I would imagine that they will look at the issues that are being raised in this House and come up with amendments that will take care of such matters."}
