    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I wish to take this opportunity to thank my fellow colleagues who have supported this Bill. I thank Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr., whom we have worked together with in the Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights, throughout the process of developing this Bill. The important point that he raised is that one of the challenges that we have with the national Government Printer right now, is that they do publications and print them in hard copies. However, if you went to the internet, you will have challenges trying to find information relating to happenings within the national Government Printer. Therefore, in this Bill, the Office of the County Printer should also publish electronic versions of their publications. That way, if you talk about attracting investments into our counties, an investor who lands at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) and takes time in Nairobi should be able to know the business environment, legislations and the requirements within Nandi County, electronically and not having to visit the county all the way. As we speak, we do not know what kind of legislations have been passed in Nandi County unless you go to the county assembly and ask for those publications in hard copy. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, it is very hard to know what Mandera, Kisii, Laikipia and Nyamira counties have published or the kind of legislation that they have enacted, because we do not have electronic versions of some of these publications. This will even provide an opportunity to market our counties and provide information not only to the residents of a county, but also to any other global citizen out there who wants to know what is going on within our counties. We hope that once we establish the County Printers’ Offices, they will not devolve the bad manners that we have seen in the national Government Printer in Nairobi. This is a message The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
