    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to add my voice in support of this legislation. In my opinion, I think Kenyans will applaud the Mover of this legislation. We have lived in a period where our people have lived in darkness over years without being enlightened about their rights. You find situations where people go to get advice from administrators and yet those administrators do not even allow them anywhere near the administrative areas. Hon. Otieno said that he brought the charter where all the administrators in various cadres were required to let everybody know what they do in their respective areas. You find that even though the charters are placed in their offices they still do not adhere to them. So, with the enactment of this legislation, administrators especially in organisations like NEMA will be in a position to advise people in the construction industry who have problems in carrying out their constructions. NEMA normally comes in late to tell constructors that their buildings are not being constructed in accordance with the law. The owners of buildings are forced to pull down their buildings. This activity cost the owners of buildings money and time. Officers from NEMA never come to the owners of buildings when they start the construction. They leave the construction to go on only to come later on to tell you to bring the building down."
