    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for the one minute I have been given to support this Privatisation Bill. In the same vein, I thank the Leader of the Majority Party for giving me this opportunity. I want to say two things. The time for the Government to be in business went long ago. The private sector drives the economic wheel of this country and that of the entire global industry. We need to privatise all public enterprises. In any case, they have achieved the social purpose for which they were established. Secondly, during my studies, my thesis was on the Press and Parastatals in Kenya. The person I quoted when I was doing that thesis is Hon. Musalia Mudavadi, who happened to be at the top level in the Government. I also quoted David Ndii, who also happens to be advising the Government on economic issues in this country. The two gentlemen should be able to guide this country on matters of privatisation. Finally, when we do it, let us make it open. It is a good objective to privatise all public enterprises. Hon. Speaker, I again appreciate the opportunity you have given me. I also appreciate the Leader of the Majority Party, Hon. Ichung’wah."
