Duale","speaker_title":"","speaker":{"id":15,"legal_name":"Aden Bare Duale","slug":"aden-duale"},"content":"Hon. Speaker, why do we give all our businesses to foreigners? If the Member is agitating that Safaricom is a Kenyan company, it is not a wholly Kenyan owned company. If that is what he wants to say, over 40 per cent of Safaricom is owned by Vodafone. So, my amendment is saying: “THAT, to ensure promotion of technology transfer, job creation and in line with the government undertaking to create jobs and opportunities for Kenyans, Safaricom Ltd and/or their agents who shall be charged with the responsibility of rolling out the network ensures that at least a minimum of 30 per cent of the contract is given to local enterprises” ."}
