    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support these amendments. I want to thank my friend, hon. Sakaja, who also happens to be my Chairman. I want to confirm to my colleagues that even as we produce a Bill, it is good to understand its background or where it has come from. We have to appreciate that it has come from the Jubilee Coalition. If it came from the CORD Coalition, we would have appreciated it because it is very important. I just want to make a very important point to my friend, hon. Sakaja. In order for us to achieve the proposals contained in this Bill, we must decentralise the system of registration of companies. That is because most of the counties do not have registration services. Most of the registration services are in Nairobi, near Harambee House. We have to devolve the function of registration of companies so that every youth, including a cattle rustler in the remotest villages in this country, can access registration certificates for businesses. If we continue having registration service centralised in Nairobi, we will be targeting the youth from Nairobi alone. The youth in the rural areas will not benefit. That is the point I wanted to make, and it has to be taken seriously. Thank you."
