    "content": " Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. It is unfortunate the Mover and proponent of this Bill is not here. I had just started contributing to the Local Content Bill (Senate Bill No.13 of 2013) and I had given a short preview on why local content as defined in the Bill should be expanded beyond the extractive industry. I had said that we need local participation. In fact, the term that is easily understood by everybody is local participation where Kenyans have an opportunity to participate in ownership and benefit of resources. When you go to countries like China, Cuba and others, the local participation is by the state. If you trace our history back, you are, probably, not old enough to know, but Sen. Karaba would. In the old days, county councils were the custodian of public good. They owned property on behalf of the public. They invested on behalf of the public. I do not know whether Sen. Karaba benefitted, but many people of his age went to school on county council bursaries."
