    "content": " Hon. Speaker, I thank this honourable House for the great and robust debate that we have had on this candidate. Because I am sure the candidate is listening, if this House approves his candidature to be the D-G of the Competition Authority of Kenya, I hope he is going to take into consideration the concerns of this House, which is to ensure there is robust competition in this Republic and to stop monopolies. Monopolies have been shown by research to cause many problems, such as substandard products in the market, price manipulation, hindering the growth of small and medium-term enterprises, abuse of the market, prevention of economic efficiency, or the concentration of economic power to a few people or institutions. We hope that the D-G-designate will stamp his authority and ensure that there is compliance to competition law, so that every Kenyan and every business is given the right, time and the required support by this administration to present their products in the market. That way, we will ensure Kenyans have access to competitively priced products of good quality, prevent dominance and give a chance to everyone to shine in whichever industry they seek to thrive in. I do not know whether I am allowed to donate part of the remaining minutes to Hon. Julius Rutto (CPA), who is a member of the Committee."
