    "content": "Justice and Legal Affairs under the Chairmanship of Hon. Chepkong’a and you, being a member. I am sure this sets out a good pace for Kenyan business community. This Insolvency Bill, the Business Registration Bill which is before the House and the Companies Bill which is coming before the Committee of the whole House, are very important Bills. They will simplify how we do business in our country. They are very important pieces of legislations that will transform the economy of our country. The Companies Bill and the Insolvency Bill that I am moving in the Second Reading today are very important. I want to ask my colleagues, Members of the National Assembly that we finish with them. I am happy the Leader of the Minority Party is happy and nodding that it has come. He has helped me push it in the House Business Committee. I do not know what Doctor Susan is telling him. I am sure the politics of Ukambani must be very good after the visit by President Barrack Obama. The Leader of the Minority Party is very excited but, of course, he will tell what the narrative is all about. I also want to hear. This law is very important. It will be good - through the help of the Committee - to finish these two pieces of legislation before we go on recess. I am sure that these are some of the things that the business community, the Kenya Private Sector Alliance and the Office of the Attorney-General have been asking about. These are the questions that we receive in every meeting. It was a serious debate at a presidential round table private sector meeting. They said: “We want to ask the National Assembly to fast-track the Companies Bill and the Insolvency Bill of 2015. I am sure that today, if we agree to finish by tomorrow, next week or the week after, we can do the Committee of the whole House. With those many remarks on the contents of the Bill, I thought first I will ask the Chair--- But I am happy that because of the two-thirds gender rule, the Chairman has said that I should allow the great lady from Turkana County, Hon. Emanikor, to second this Bill. This is the route we should go. This is how I started. The gender principle Bill should also go through this."
