    "content": "Tied to that, Madam Temporary Speaker, is the idea of granting visas on arrival to all our African brothers. I must laud the President for his initiative early last year or this year, in allowing visitors from a number of our African countries to process their visas on arrival. What is the justification of allowing visitors from Europe and America to process their visas on arrival, while we do not extend the same favor to our brothers from the African Continent? We must acknowledge that the boundaries we have in Africa are a creation of the colonialists; but we are one and the same thing, as African brothers. Finally, Madam Temporary Speaker, we must improve our hotels and our hospitality industry. There is no way we are going to attract tourists to travel all the way to my county of Nyamira, unless we have hotels that can meet international standards. How are we going to encourage investors if the people who have constructed their hotels – like my good friend, hon. Manoti, who had done a building worth billions – just to wake up one day to find the building has been brought down? How are you going to encourage people to come and invest in this country if there is no sanctity of the title deed? Therefore, this Government must foster a climate that is attractive to investors. We must make life comfortable for our investors so that we can have enough hotels that can receive more visitors. With those many remarks, Madam Temporary Speaker, I beg to support the Motion by Sen. Olekina."
