"content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. At the outset, I oppose this Bill. It has no relevance for it to have been brought here. What we are talking about privatising, apart from Kenya Airways (KQ), are companies like Mumias, Nzoia, South Nyanza, Muhoroni, Miwani sugar companies. These are parastatals not only owned by the Government but the community in which they sit donated land for those factories to be built. It is very wrong for somebody to bring a Bill and say we want to remove Parliament from playing any role in public assets. What is it and where is the hurry? If it is the issue of the sugar companies, the communities must be involved and amicable solution be found. What is the hurry to rush and pass the amendment now? We are going home in June. Why is somebody trying to rush this thing before we go through the elections due? It beats common sense and logic."
