    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the question of registration of ships is extremely important. We may not have ships of our own but we can, through the Merchant Shipping Bill, be in a position to register and recognise ships that are hired from elsewhere. They could be the flag of convenience ships or ships that are hired on bare-boat process. It is important that we activate merchant shipping in our country. We have regulations that have to be applied. It is for Kenya to spearhead the application of a lot of issues that relate to maritime activities like the hijacking of ships on the high seas by pirates. We found that at one stage, some pirates were brought to Kenya to be tried and possibly be sentenced here. However, the process hit a snag because our Merchant Shipping Bill is yet to be enacted into law."
