    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, opinion polls are not necessarily for political purposes. They are even for institutions and corporate entities to understand market dynamics so that they can market their products in the best way, reach out to the markets and even enhance business in our country. Opinion polls play a very significant role. In an effort to grow our economy, we must understand what it is that is going on in our country, the market forces, the issues that Kenyans like, the products and the sensitivities involved in the whole of that exercise. So, I think what hon. Khalwale has done through the Bill - and I want to commend him - is to structure and regulate so that, that very important exercise is carried out in a framework that gives the best chance to those firms that have the capacity, know-how and technology to carry out that exercise and bring out results that will add value to decision making in our country. Many corporate entities, politicians, voters and people who want to engage themselves in certain exercises would like to do so on the basis of quality information. That is what this Bill would help to bring out."
