    "content": "Thank you Madam Temporary, Speaker. I thank Sen. Mungatana for seconding this Motion and for also taking the moment to just support this work that is aimed at helping Kenyans. Madam Temporary Speaker, I also thank in a special way Sen. Karen Nyamu, who has also stood with me in supporting this Report. Finally, I also thank Senator Maanzo for also supporting this Report. Madam Temporary Speaker, I wish to actually also comment briefly by saying that when the petitioners came to the Committee with this proposal, we actually saw a good opportunity to help them have a legislative proposal that is going to assist because we very well know that the hospitality industry is very critical in this country. Just early in the afternoon, we had allegations being raised through a statement on discrimination, injustices in the hotel industry generally. Maybe had we had such a legislative proposal, most of these issues would have been tackled and highlighted under it. Professionals in this area would also be safe to operate because different professionals in this country have their associations under which they also belong. So let the hospitality professionals not be the only ones who are not actually falling in place so that they miss out on issues to do with licensing, training, education, and just having frameworks that will ensure they are operating in a manner that suits them and the public. I beg to reply and pursuant to Standing Order 66(3), request that putting of the question be deferred to another day. 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."
