    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me this chance. I rise to support this amendment. Before I do so, allow me to congratulate my colleague and dear friend, Sen. Wamatangi, for what I consider a very well thought out amendment. During my very first days in the Senate just a few months ago, I read the Order Paper and kept on seeing the Micro and Small Enterprise (Amendment) Bill. It kept on ringing in my mind that it something worth of interest. For one reason or the other, I never considered going through the records just to find out what it is all about. This afternoon when I realised that it was slotted for the Second Reading, I went to research on it further. What I found out has extremely pleased me. I am rising to support the amendments that are contained herein for two main reasons. One is a national reason as a legislator and the work that has gone in. Secondly, for a selfish reason, I will start with the selfish one because it is the least important and then I will move on to the more important one. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, this is the industry that I came from before I joined this House – the small and micro industry traders. So, when you talk about these people, I understand the tricks of this game and challenges that they go through. You do not have to teach me. I do not have to read any policy research document to understand the challenges that Sen. Wamatangi is describing and what these people face each day. These are things that I have seen every day and lived through. Having been given the gracious chance by the people of Kericho County to represent them in this House, I think there would not be a greater honour than to contribute to something that I understand so well.
