    "content": "I want to thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to make comments on this Petition and Motion that is before the House. What this Petitioner, Mr. Rono Nicholas, is petitioning this Senate is a complaint of the failure by the Capital Markets Authority and Competition Authority of Kenya, on what their decisions or lack of it, are costing the people on the ground. I know what Mr. Rono is talking about. He has said there were 6,000 employees in the EABL. Now, it is a shell with only 600 employees or thereabouts. When I was very young, I grew up in Mombasa. One of the big companies in Mombasa and big employers was the Kenya Breweries Limited (KBL). When we were growing up, my father even left the Government to come and work in the medical department of the KBL. Consequently, I know when I say that KBL was a big employer and a beacon of light in the economy of Mombasa. It is true, like what this Petition says, that it owned real estates and a lot property. In fact, senior employees were carried by vehicles to work and people used to live in big estates. It was a happy time. Thereafter, restructuring started to happen. By then, our 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 and AudioServices, Senate."
