    "content": "Thank you hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving the opportunity to contribute to this very important Bill. Before, I do that, allow me to congratulate you for utilizing the digital facility in this Chamber. A lot of money was invested to shift from the analogue to digital. We expect to see a closed loop, so that when you log in you should be able to see you are placed in the queue. So, thank you for being digital. Having said that, I would like to touch on a few areas; and I do not want to belabor the importance of this Bill. This is a Bill that touches on several areas of legislation that if implemented properly through amendments, we will really spur the growth of this country. We will also be able to improve the sustainable development in our country. The Government must take quick steps to keep the cost of living low. As we stand now, the situation in this country is bad. The cost of living is untenable; our roads have become death traps. The public vehicles on our roads have become death machines. Insecurity is the order of the day and high levels of inequality and poverty have lead to great crime and general insecurity in the country. Therefore, the majority of Kenyans are really dissatisfied with the current state of affairs today. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I had an opportunity during the recess to go to a place in Eldoret to do Harambee for a friend; actually hon. Elijah Lagat. I had an opportunity to interact with our brothers and sisters in Nandi. The position is that majority of Kenyans are suffering. A recent nationwide poll by Infotrack revealed that The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
