    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, we have finished Hon. Kamanda’s business and now he has started a kamukunji despite the fact that he is my good neighbour. On the one on Merchant and Shipping Act, the Chair is conducting public participation. He has gone to Mombasa. He has asked Hon. Speaker to give his Committee more time. So, we have to wait for them. The Bill seeks to amend the Act to exempt Government entities or enterprises from the provision of the Act in furtherance of the public interest of Government policy. The main idea here is that we have an institution called “Kenya Shipping Line (KSL)”, but the Act does not allow this entity to deal with matters relating to operations at the Port of Mombasa. We are making the amendment subject to public participation so that, like other countries that have sea ports, we allow our shipping line to participate in the operations and administration of some of the facilities within the Port of Mombasa. Instead of leasing it to other international shipping lines such as Maersk, we are amending the Act so that KSL can be allowed to undertake any operational business within any of the berths at the Port of Mombasa. The current Act does not allow any shipping line, be it local or international, to engage in any business of operational nature within the Port of Mombasa."
