    "content": "I thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for being gracious to me. First and foremost, I would like to also register my appreciation and gratitude to the indomitable Leader of the Majority Party. This leader has worked very hard in spite and despite of difficult circumstances of at times staying late into midnight to ensure that these Bills get into this House. I will like to thank him. I also want to state that the passage of the Special Economic Zones Bill marks a paradigm shift in terms of the manner in which we are going to do business in this country. Secondly, it also marks a shift in terms of attracting foreign direct investment into this country. As you know, Kenya is no longer living in an island. We are a country in the global village. We are in a global village where distance no longer matters. Money can be moved or transacted in few seconds because of the Information, Communication and Technology progress. So, the passage of this legislation will ensure that we are in sync with the entire world and we can attract investments. Investors can come to this country and get out without any inhibitions."
