    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I rise to seek a Statement from the Chairperson of the Standing Committee on Finance, Commerce and Budget regarding the implementation status of the report of the Presidential Taskforce on Parastatal Reforms which was presented to H.E. the President on 12th November, 2013. This Report recommended the amalgamation of the Kenya Tourism Board with the Export Promotion Council and the Kenya Investments Authority and Brand Kenya into one agency, which was to be called the Kenya Investment Authority. In the Statement, the Chairperson should explain why the amalgamation has not been done to date. The Statement should also state whether he is aware this has disrupted the operations of the Kenya Tourism Development Cooperation because its board of management has not been in operation since then. The Statement should also explain when the amalgamation process will be expedited and the boards of management appointed. Lastly, in the Statement, the Chairperson should state whether eligible investors who are interested in hotel development could access development loans while the finalization of the amalgamation process is awaited. Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir."
