    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to take this opportunity to thank my colleagues in the Committee for their dedication in the search for answers to contentious issues in the Merchant Shipping Bill. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank Nancy Karigithu and her staff at the Kenya Maritime Authority for their support in providing answers promptly to our questions during the many meetings that we had with stakeholders. Last year in August, my Committee travelled to Mombasa to investigate what was going on in the ports. We found out that ships are being built without any engineering specifications; with this Bill in place, we believe that such undertakings will be curbed. We also noticed that the life saving gear that we found being manufactured in Mombasa did not take into account infants, just as one of my colleagues indicated. I hope that, that will be looked into in future."
