    "content": "adhering to the policies, to the requirements as far as Kenya Bureau of Standards (KEBS), NEMA standards and EPRA standards? Counties also need to get involved. All these companies cut across all the 47 counties, but Nairobi City County has majority of these companies. Sometimes approvals are given, and yet this company is within an estate, which is an automatic risk. We have a policy that clubs and pubs, should not be next to the learning institutions but because of corruption, this takes place. These institutions should not be near residential places. It should be having the appropriate distance. I do not know even how the construction permit was issued by the same EPRA, yet this facility was within the residential places. The culprits should now be brought to book. People lost lives. That is equal to murder. The law is there and very clear. The security operators and the legal system should ensure they fasten this so that it sets an example to others who are still not adhering. The cases drag and someone is just freed to continue these businesses. Even looking at this report, this business person seemed to have this business under still another name. If they are not brought to book on time, then this brings the risk for more scrupulous business that expose Kenyans to the risk. With those few and many remarks, I appreciate the Committee's work. The culprits should be brought to book as soon as possible. I submit."
