    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I believe that this Bill needs a lot of support from everybody. The Departmental Committee on Energy, Communications and Public Works needs to be commended for the good work it has also done with regard to its input to this Bill. There are a lot of benefits that the Government and Kenyans are going to get as a result of enacting this law, for instance, job creation. We have a lot of wealth along our coastline which we have not exploited. It is because there has been no law to govern that. There are things like crew training and licensing. Though Kenyans have all the facilities required for training, they have not been able to get licences for maritime work, engineering, navigation, piloting and so on. It is simply because we did not have in place a proper law that was going to govern that."
