    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I could not agree with you more. The main problem is that it has been done on an ad hoc basis. Therefore, the Ministry of Trade would have its own regulations, the Ministry of Finance would have its own, the Ministry of Agriculture would have its own and so forth. It was not clear. It was not co-ordinated and that is why we formed this Business Practice Reform Committee. It is now looking at the various licences required. In the case that Mr. Koech has given, the company was given all the approvals but they forgot to amend one law, which was what they were calling the jurisdiction of each sugar company where you are given a specific area for your operation. I do not have the exact facts but I think at that time, it was 25 kilometers. After this factory was built, the owners were told: “No, we cannot give you a licence because if we do that, we are going to impeach on the rule on exclusive jurisdiction of sugar factories”. That is exactly the point I am giving. That was there but they did not tell that investor that he would still need to comply with this rule. After everything was done, they showed him this rule, and said they could not give him a licence. Those are some of the issues we are saying will be addressed by this Bill."
