    "content": "The other thing is the new definition of employer-employee. I had spoken to what happens in that particular space and the need to foster a good working relationship and a balance between the employer and the employee. When that is done, none will feel taken advantage of. On occupational safety, we have to ensure that we protect our workers as well. It should not just be about protecting the investor and having them take advantage of our workers. That is important. There is an amendment to the Affordable Housing Act. I will wait to read the report of the Committee to understand the logic and whether they are sufficiently convinced of the need to do that particular Act. The Anti-Counterfeit Act is also being revised to refine definitions of key terms, including \"consumer\" and \"counterfeit,\" to better protect those in the manufacturing sector. Counterfeiting poses a significant challenge to our manufacturing industry. If Sen. Tabitha was here, an esteemed industrialist and my deputy, she would explain the difficulties manufacturers face when counterfeit products flood the market. These replicas, produced at lower costs, undercut legitimate manufacturers and drive them out of business. Strengthening regulations in this area is crucial. Additionally, in the ICT Sector, many discussions are taking place. Therefore, this is a very interesting piece of legislation. I want to take time and listen to colleagues share their thoughts on it. They should read it and lead us into making a law that responds to the needs of the market. Madam Temporary Speaker, with those main remarks, I beg to move. I request the Senator for Tana River County, Sen. Danson Mungatana, to second. I thank you."
