    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, thank you for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this Bill. I want to applaud the Mover of this Bill. It is a very exciting Bill and the owner needs to be applauded. This Bill will help Kenyans to access services. It will enable individuals who are ignorant to access such services. It will also enable standardisation of documentation in all counties. When documents are produced at the county level, they will serve their clients without much delay. Madam Temporary Speaker, many of my colleagues have talked about how this Bill will help create employment opportunities to our people. When this Bill is passed, it will enable our youth with skills in this particular field to be employed. Devolution is all about creation of employment. Many of our youth will be employed in 47 counties to work in printing departments. This will help decongest Nairobi and other urban centres. The counties will be owners of their own Printers. That means that they will prioritise what they feel is important to be printed. I support this particular Bill because it will allow self-regulation of the counties. It will also open avenues for many other documents that our citizens do not know. People in different counties will be sensitised on provisions of this particular Bill even if it means in their mother tongues. Therefore, many people who do not know gazettement of documents such as land title deeds and employment will get to know. Every citizen will be sensitised and they will be able to see the documents physically rather than coming to crowd in Nairobi where those with disabilities could have problems. It will also enable persons in different counties know documents that go through the process of gazettement and printing. This is one of the Bills that I support. I laud the Mover of this Bill because it is something that has been waited for long. How I feel that the Mover, like my colleague The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
