    "content": "Vehicle branding is so important. I am glad that by listening to the Senators, I have realised that I should have consulted some of them who are experts in this business. That we can actually not only tap those vehicles or that segment of the market where people are doing vehicle branding, but we can increase the segment. It is because this is also an avenue for generating income. I had mentioned the court process, although Sen. Wetangula says that for purposes of drafting, it is not necessary to mention a court. However, I think just to make it complete the way we have done it in the Fair Administrative Act, that after five, there should be a provision that anybody aggrieved can access the court or any other provision of the law. I would have been happier if it was a tribunal dealing with it but we will provide for a court process so that the person then has an opportunity to do so. The proposal to have Sports advertising for things like Heineken --- although there is a prohibition about how you can advertise beer in relation to sports. You can do it but to the extent that people who are sponsoring activities of sports, goods or products, there is a segment of revenue that has been excluded and we should do it when we do the Committee amendments. I believe, under Clause 4 and to agree with Sen. Wetangula, the proposal to have these officers who are in office not getting a sitting allowance is on all fours with prudent financial management. One of the proposals we have made for amendment, which will appear at the Committee of the Whole, is what Sen. Wetangula has proposed; that, the word “Title Deed” would discriminate the majority of Kenyans and leave it to those who have benefitted unfairly from the process of discriminatory issuance of title deeds. Regarding Clause 6, Sen. Wetangula is correct, that, in fact, at the Railway Headquarters, there are billboards that cross from the highway into land that belongs to the Kenya Railways. I believe that can be captured in the Bill. I also agree with Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale on the distinctions that ought to be made when you are dealing with the Committee Members and particularly, his proposal on Clauses 3, 5 and 7. We would think a little bit about the penalties because most Senators have proposed that we deal with it so that it does not appear to be too punitive in terms of the fine. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the concrete sites are extremely ingenious because they are everywhere. There is one that is coming up somewhere on my way home. It is just in the middle of the road. I do not think it is regulated. This will apply to Safaricom Limited sites particularly, where they have concrete signs everywhere. People are advertising yet we have not provided for it specifically here. It should be because I have dealt with one or two cases. These sites are mostly leased to Safaricom Limited. They do not own those sites. Therefore, we will include that. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, we had a difficulty. You are aware that under Clause 15, you have proposed that we use the County Gazette. So, how do you synchronize? Under this clause, I would propose when we do the amendments that we put newspapers where applicable, County Gazette where applicable and maybe as many forms as possible or alternatively go back to the provisions of the County Governments Act which has, at The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes"
