    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to support this well-thought-out Bill by my colleague, Sen. Mariam Omar. She is a Member of a committee that I Chair. If Members of the committee were here, they would tell you that we refer to her as our midfielder. Sen. Ogolla and herself rarely miss any meeting. They are the fulcrum around which the committee operates. I am happy they are Members of my committee. We have never faced quorum hitches when they are around. Just as the Senate Leader of Majority has mentioned, they are always with a book and pen, taking notes and contributing to the various proceedings both in the House and in committees. I congratulate her on taking this bold step of coming up with this Bill. Without taking so much time so that I allow my colleagues to also give their input on the Bill, I feel that this Bill is timely just as my colleagues who have spoken before me have stated. Even though part of the own source revenue from most counties is from licensing, it must be regularized. One of the principles of application that have been proposed in this Bill--- One thing that has caught my eye is the simplicity of the process. I believe the simplicity of the process is meant to address the very small businesses that are coming up. It does not make any sense that a kinyozi person in a small town called Heni has to go all the way to another sub-county headquarters in Nyandarua County called Engineer to apply for a license for three or four days. This process should be simple and easy. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard Services,Senate."
