    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, part of the reason why there has been a substantial increase in investments is because we have been addressing the question of investment climate improvement in this country as a continuous exercise. On the matter of the Dominion Group, the hon. Member is aware that I made a personal intervention in terms of working on the early processing of the clearance of the equipment in Mombasa, getting them the necessary licences and liaising with the relevant local authorities in the face of old and archaic laws that have been impeding rapid investment. We have a comprehensive programme of investment climate improvement, which includes, under the Statute Law Miscellaneous Amendments Bill that is before the House, abolition of 34 laws and a recommendation for abolition of another up to 110 laws in our statute books, which we have identified as an impediment to investment. Secondly, since the coming into force of the Kenya Investment Authority Act last year, it takes a maximum of 21 days to start a business in this country. This is part of positive measures, not promises, that are being taken."
