    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Allow me to personally wish you a happy new year on my own behalf and on behalf of the people of the great constituency of Aldai. I support this Bill. As I do so, it is also fair that I give a small history of the body that we are discussing. It is common knowledge that the Kenya Accreditation Service (KENAS) was a department in the Kenya Bureau of Standards (KEBS). It was very difficult for an institution to be compelled to conform when you are under the same roof. It is fair to have an independent institution to compel institutions to conform to set parameters of what we expect in this country. I want to highlight the benefits of this body. First, it gives an opportunity to this country to have our goods recognised internationally. Members raised the issue of countries that have similar bodies such as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the United States of America (USA). We do not want to copy and paste what the USA is doing, but it is good to benchmark with the best in the world. An analysis of the same body shows that it will have what we call sound management systems. Talking about sound management systems, first of all, this institution will be independent. It will ensure that quality levels are met to make sure that all our customers are satisfied. Secondly, it will prevent defects so that we do not import goods that are defective. We have many cases of items that do not meet the standards entering this country. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
