    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity to support the Bill. Much as I support the Bill, my good friend, hon. Langat, who I believe is a student of the Management Science, in my humble view, and I stand to be corrected, seems to have adopted with his Committee, a rather superficial total quality management approach to this amendment as opposed to what we engineers do, which is business process engineering. As we go along, I will explain myself. Most of what has been proposed tends to be traditional and really it is more or less the same way of amending Bills. But going to the crux of the matter, which hon. Kajuju raised as a distinguished lawyer, you know that sometimes when you look at it critically, the reason we need laws is perhaps because of depravity of nobility. We have to speak about these things and I am happy hon. Kajuju sits in the Committee on Regional Integration. We get a lot of problems with our brothers across the border. I am a registered consulting engineer, one of only 200 in the country and I am very proud and I thank God for that. It is an uphill task when the Association of Consulting Engineers of Kenya has a protocol with our brothers in the Association of Consulting Engineers of Tanzania. To integrate, it is an uphill task. When our brothers from Tanzania ask us for business here, we embrace them. The protocol is there, there is no doubt about it. We all know that we have the letter of the law, but what has been lacking in this protocol is the spirit. The letter may be there. We have seen what is happening to our brothers. Who can be happy when, for example, the Tanzanians are ordering our teachers to come back home? That is a problem being imported back into our country, a problem that we thought we had got rid of. I thank the Chairman for this attempt, but when we make laws, and I am glad I am speaking to the Jubilee Coalition; the digital Coalition, let it be intended with our contemporary times. I say this because there are a lot of things now and insurance is no longer just about tangible assets. Insurance now should even go beyond what you can The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
