    "content": "I rise pursuant t to Standing Order No. (51(1)(b) to make a Statement on activities of the Standing Committee on Tourism, Trade and Industrialization for the period commencing 1st January to 30th June, 2019. We held 15 sittings, considered one Bill, two Petitions, and five Statements and held two stakeholder engagements. Among the Bills we considered is the County Tourism Bill (Senate Bills No. 5 of 2019) and had submissions from the stakeholders on the same. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, regarding statements, pursuant to Standing Order 48(1), four Statements were referred to the Committee during the period under review. Two Statements were sought by Sen. Pareno, whereas Sen. Khaniri and Sen. Halake sought one each. We have concluded the Statements by Sen. Pareno on the state of East African Portland Cement. A meeting was held to that effect with the relevant Ministries. The three other Statements fall within the mandate of the national Treasury, the Anti-Counterfeit Agency, the State Department of Cooperatives and State Department of Wildlife, respectively. The Committee has scheduled meetings with these Ministries and institutions to conclude the considerations. We have even invoked the Parliamentary Powers and Privileges Act to fine the CS Munya Kshs500, 000 for not attending meetings."
