    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wish to support and congratulate hon. Jakoyo Midiwo for bringing this Bill. All of us are consumers of goods and services at any given time. In the spirit that I said before, we should fight the culture of impunity in our lives. That is why even though we pass laws here Kenyans will tell you that there is a way to circumvent them. For instance, the other day, Parliament passed a law stopping harambees, but when you go to the ground, the people tell you that there must be a way to circumvent it. That is the culture that we are used to in this country. We do not really need a Consumer Bill, but because of the culture of impunity, we have to spell out to people everything in black and white. Otherwise other commercial laws would adequately cover this. But in Kenya you have to tell somebody, for example, I am Millie. Unless he sees I am Millie and I am wearing a dress, he cannot realize that I am a woman unless I say I am a woman. I think that is the culture that we have in this country. So, because of that, we have to be really specific."
