"content": "There is a problem in Kenya and people fear. For example, some time back, we passed the Privatisation Bill. Some governors do not want the sugar factories to be privatised. If they are not privatised, they will die! It is good to bring the best of the best in management and shareholding in order to inject more resources. In fact, as a leader from the pastoralist communities, I can state here that we want the Kenya Meat Commission (KMC) to be privatised. Let KMC be privatised and be given to a company that has markets in the Middle East. As it is now, KMC is not helping us. It is not helping the country. We pump billions of shillings every year into it and yet we do not see the value for our money. This is from Kibaki’s time to date. We want KMC to be handed over to an investor who has the market. He will buy our goats, sheep and camels and slaughter them. Ours will be to breed the stock. The Government cannot do business, as my colleague said. It is true. We need to bring on board the best people in business and this is the right Bill. I am happy the Speaker has made his position known on the constitutionality of the Bill. I beg to move. I hope that at the Committee of the whole House, the Chairman will have prepared the necessary amendments. So, let us go to Zero Hour. It is not Happy Hour."
