    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am concerned about foreign investors. Before, there was no legal framework for controlling them. Yes, we want to attract a lot of investments and returns on our businesses, but we must also control how they interface with our local community. We must also see how to encourage our domestic production and businessmen. In this Bill, you will find very clear terms on how foreign investments will interface with local investments. The Bill addresses things that we used to have problems with in procurement law. A company is registered in India, and has no relationship whatsoever with anything in Nairobi; but you go to tender and find that it is a competitor and maybe a director only has a permit. Yet he is competing with you without necessarily having been registered in Kenya. They call themselves government-to-government or use terms which have no basis in law completely."
