    "content": "Committee, if necessary will reconsider any other proposals from stakeholders and we will make further amendments which will improve the Bill because we want the best out of this Bill. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, this country is associated with a vicious cycle of poverty. Those children who were born in rich families continue being richer and richer. Those who are born in poor families end up being poorer and poorer and I think this is one Bill that is going to break that vicious cycle of poverty because we want opportunities. Because of the way the structure is done, they are unable to access them. Therefore, for us to be able to resolve the vicious cycle, the youth must be given this opportunity and this Bill comes in very handy. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, as we debate this Bill we must also build the capacities of our youth and I want to say that our youth who are graduating from various polytechnics, universities and colleges should form groups and register them. We want to encourage the Registrar of Companies to devolve his or her functions. It beats logic for somebody who wants to register a company in Kericho to be told to come and do it in Nairobi. They must have their branches in Kericho or Mombasa and those who want to register should do so where they are. In fact, it is saddening and I think we need to address it. It is saddening that our Registrar of Companies is still very analogue. You want to search a company and you are told that it will take three days. I think it is time systems were put in place so that if you want to search for a name, you can do it through your mobile phone because technology is here."
