    "content": "Hon. Members, Standing Order 225 (2) (b), requires that the Speaker reports to the House any petition other than those presented through hon. Members. I, therefore, wish to convey to the House that my office received a petition regarding the implementation of Section 16(3) of the Finance Act, 2013, and Section 94 of the Consumer Protection Act, 2012. The Petition, which is signed by Mr. Stephen Mutero, on behalf of the Consumers Federation of Kenya (COFEK), prays that Parliament requires the Executive to comply with the provisions of Articles 46 of the Constitution and Section 94 of the Consumer Protection Act, 2012, to ensure that consumers have representation in all regulatory agencies. It asks for amendment of Section 16 (3) of the Finance Act, 2013, relating to payment of a deposit tax, in case of disputes. Hon. Members, this Petition, therefore, shall stand committed to the Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade for consideration. The Committee is, therefore, requested to consider the Petition and report its findings in accordance with Standing Order 227(2)."
