    "content": " Madam Temporary Speaker, I am not very sure how useful that information is. Sen. Faki will know that I personally have an interest in one of the local football clubs. Unfortunately, we were relegated last season. However, the Tusker Football Club (FC) of 2023 is nothing to write home about compared to Kenya Breweries Limited of the 1990s. If you are a good fan of football, you will know that. Not to lose my point, this Petition challenges us, as a House, to look into the operations of big corporations that come into this country pretending that they are investing, but in the real sense, all they are doing is stripping the assets of big corporations that have been built by the sweat of Kenyans and repatriating the profits out of the country. There is nothing exceptional about brewing beer that warrants investors from other parts of the country or globe, to come and do the kind of things that we are reading about in that particular Petition. Madam Temporary Speaker, of course, I have listened to the Chair mention that Capital Markets Authority (CMA) appeared before us and they are coming back one more time, to look and respond to the questions being raised in that Petition regarding the operations of the East African Breweries Limited (EABL). Non-competitive practises to shrink other players out of the market and so many other things are being alleged in that Petition."
