    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. I also take the opportunity to thank the Attorney General for moving this very critical Bill. Partnerships have broken down in the past thus creating unnecessary environment in terms of investment. Sharing of assets has caused havoc between the partners and in-fighting in the boardrooms. This has been very detrimental in terms of our economic performance. We have also seen ugly scenes, for instance, the Mboi-Kamiti people murdering one another. Innocent blood has been shed because of misunderstandings because of this critical role. The new Partnership Bill will create the necessary environment in our country. Jobs will be created for the tarmacking youths from secondary schools and universities and this will create peace and stability in the country. Concerning the registration of these partnerships, our people have been attracted where the partnership law has been better. The newest state, South Sudan, has this law and our people have gone there to start businesses. They have also gone to Rwanda where a lot of resources have been taken. It is our people who have gone with our resources there. We will have more Kenyans invest in this country with the introduction of the partnership law. We will also get external investors taking up the chances to invest in this country. The other critical observation is about the disappearance of partnership files at the Attorney-General’s Office. This has been a permanent feature. I think with the new broom at the Chambers, this serious development will be controlled. This will bring sanity and sobriety at the registration office. The issue of files disappearing has affected investors in this country and that should be controlled. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, this is a very critical role and once formulated will allow the country to breath like the developing countries and enable it emerge as a strong nation. With those few remarks, I fully support the legislation."
