    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for the opportunity to contribute to this Bill. I want to start by thanking the Member for Tetu for this piece of legislation. It is true that this is one of the key sectors. We know that the Asian Tigers have got to where they are in terms of development because they did recognize the contributions that come from this sector, the micro and small enterprises sector. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, any of the persons aspiring to be governors, and I am not one yet, would only perhaps be worth that position if in their manisfesto or vision, they are able to articulate to the people what they would want to help in their county; what they intend to do with this sector. I do not foresee any county that would make any form of movement forward in terms of development and creation of employment if the Governor will not be dealing with matters that relate to the micro and small enterprises sector. This Bill forms a good basis upon which such leaders can inform those they would want to lead in terms of their policies and the rest. When Mr. Nyammo was moving the Bill, he did mention that it is true that this is a labour-intensive field; an area that requires low level of investment. That is why I feel that the Government has actually lagged behind. It is important to have the legislation"
