    "content": "It is imperative that when the committee is investigating this issue, they need to have a comprehensive discussion with the Kenya Bureau of Standards (KeBS). Since we are trying to encourage companies to produce locally. If we have a lot of fake or substandard equipment, especially telecommunication equipment which are being sold in the market, it hinders our effort as a country to promote local manufacturing. They are also very dangerous because they do not really use all the standards and safety measures that are required for the production of telecommunication equipment. They could be very dangerous to your health. They will just explode. This is a very good Statement. I hope that it will be taken seriously by the Committee on Information, Communication and Technology (ICT). Secondly, I would like to comment briefly on the issue of femicide. It is very sad that at this age, we are still targeting women. On the statement which was read on the killing of a taxi driver in Mombasa, we need to stand firmly and revisit our regulations when it comes to the issue of safety in public vehicles. Our local taxis ought to have cameras because there is nothing private that you do inside a taxi; it is just for transportation. It is about time that we encourage the registration of taxi services. We used to have the Kenya Taxi Service before we got all these other new Apps that are coming up. The only way we can get away from this belief that this issue of femicide is a systemic gender-based discrimination, is for us to put up regulations and laws that protect everyone regardless of they are."
