    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to move:- THAT, the Bill be amended by inserting the following new clause immediately after clause 58— Amendment of section 58A. Section 4 of the Special Economic Zones Act, 2015 is 4 of No. 6 of 2015. amended in paragraph (6) by inserting the following new subparagraph immediately after subparagraph (i)— (k) convention and conference facilities. The import of this amendment is basically in relation to the amendment that the Chair of the Committee had moved on special economic zones to include conference facilities. This is informed by what we have seen in the recent past to do with conference tourism in this country. Many Kenyans are aware of the conferences that we have had, most recently the Tokyo International Conference on African Development (TICAD) which ended yesterday. We had traffic snarl-ups within the CBD. Many of these conferences are localised at the Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC), but there was a proposal some time back to have a conference facility at the Bomas of Kenya. I am sure the Ministry of Tourism is still working on it. We want to encourage county governments of the counties surrounding Nairobi like Kiambu, Kajiado, Machakos--- I wish the Machakos People’s Park had a conference facility so that you avoid coming into the city centre and take a different route. You could go through the Southern Bypass to Ndeiya in Kikuyu. We can establish conference facilities that will also help in the cropping up---"
