    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I ran the Kenya Bureau of Standards for many years. I want to support this Motion wholeheartedly. I am amazed at the amount of ignorance that the Government is trying to display here. The Kenya Bureau of Standards establishes the standards that govern the quality of the services and products that are traded in this country. It is not a law enforcement agency as such. It is very difficult for that institution to establish the law enforcement capacity. In the United Kingdom, they have the British Standards Institution which is the equivalent of the Kenya Bureau of Standards. They also have consumer protection, which is enhanced by the Witch Magazine where consumers say anything about any product they use in that country. That magazine more or less acts as law; a major proposer and supporter of the consumer protection Bill. For example, the malarial drugs that we have been using in this country for a long time seem to be the wrong kind of drugs. If we had a Consumer Protection Bill, we would have had a very good chance. I support this Motion wholeheartedly and I am sure that this House will pass it."
