It is unfair trade practices by Chinese business people who have denied Kenyans access to the Chinese market but we allowed the Chinese to have unfettered access to the Kenyan market. I want to inform the honourable Leader of the Minority Party that the Government of Kenya is well apprised of the issue. This morning we had a meeting with representatives of the Nyamakima River Road Traders that was chaired by none other than the Deputy President. It included all agencies of government—the Kenya Bureau of Standards (KEBS), the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA), the Anti-Counterfeit Authority and all other relevant agencies. The Government is working hard looking for solutions to that issue. We passed the Budget and Appropriations Committee Report yesterday. It is what has enabled us to prepare this Supplementary Appropriation Bill. There is not much we can say other than what we said yesterday on the budget-making process and approval of this Supplementary Appropriation Bill. Upon passage of this Bill, we shall be able to access the monies as and when His Excellency the President assents to the Bill to become the Supplementary Appropriation Act No.1 of 2023. Government agencies, departments and The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
