    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, thank you for giving me a chance to contribute to the Bill. I thank hon. Sakaja for coming up with this idea. He seems to be a person full of ideas, some of which have propelled TNA and URP to the presidency. Now, I also urge him not to stop at this. He should continue bringing these nice ideas to the Floor of the House so that we can make laws that can assist our people. Many developing countries that are moving to the next level are being inspired by these kinds of Bills and by promoting Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs). Even an economy as large as America is driven by SMEs. They are the ones which create jobs at the grassroots. They are the ones who harness the resources at the grassroots, so that a country can develop. If we can adhere to this law that we are enacting today, I am sure that five years from now--- It is unfortunate because the other side might not be anywhere near what we are fighting for. That is because this Government could have brought to this country an idea that could propel it to the next level in economic development. If we can achieve that, I am sure everybody in Kenya, including those who oppose the Jubilee Government, will also be happy. That is because they would have been helped to move to the next level. Maybe, the next amendment should be that we should allow 30 per cent of all contracts in this country to be given to Kenyan companies, so that they can ring fence against competition from foreigners. With those few remarks, I beg to support."
