    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I concur with the Member for Luanda. The importance of weights and measures regards trade. Under Clause 30, one has to get approval for the acquisition of weighing and measuring equipment for trade. The equipment to be used for trade in a country includes equipment for health and so on. Clause 30 enumerates all the equipment. If you do not have standard equipment for weights and measures then you are likely to jeopardise your trading capabilities as a country. Clause 25 creates offenses out of sale of incorrect weighing and measuring equipment. This is meant to curb illegal trade which can manifest in the form of using inappropriate weighing and measuring equipment. This is an important Bill because it has great impact on the trading aspects of this country. The relevant Departmental Committee of this House needs to look at this Bill thoroughly before we move to the Committee of the whole House. Just the other day, we passed a Bill to make Nairobi an international financial hub. If we do not tie it to weights and measures especially on the equipment required for purposes of trade, we will not be achieving much. I beg to reply"
