    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Again, I thank the hon. Member for that very important question. We need change of attitude. When an investor applies to set up a company, it is us who should be running to him. It is like he is doing us a favour and, therefore, very many obstacles are put in his or her way. For example, to get a licence from the Tea Board of Kenya takes such a long time and the main problem is because they have not indicated. The Bill indicates that if you want to put up a tea factory, these are the requirements which must be available in the internet so that an investor knows. At the moment, you apply and you are told you require an environmental impact assessment form and a licence from the local authority. This is not stated anywhere. It is on a case by case basis and this is what is causing the delay. We are saying that this Bill will state, for example, if it is the Tea Board of Kenya, they will have their requirements. If you want to set up a tea factory, these are the requirements which you will know in advance rather than them starting to tell you what you need to do when you apply for a licence. I will go ahead and say that by 30th September, we should be doing registration electronically."
