    "content": "The Committee has met the petitioners, considered the prayers in the Petitions and shall be tabling the reports. Arising from the Petition on review of the laws relating to business premises, the Committee intends to introduce an amendment Bill to the Landlords and Tenants, Shops, Hotels and Catering Establishment Act of 1965. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in the period under review, the Committee held a consultative meeting on 14th March, 2019, with the Council of Governors (CoG) and the Ministry of Industrialisation and Trade on Enablers, Support and Development of Industrial Infrastructure and Status of Industrial Parks, Special Economic Zones and Economic Processing Zones in the Counties. During the same period under review, the Committee had challenges and that is what I mentioned; that we were unable to get the CS for Industrialisation and Trade to appear before the Committee. As a result of that, we invoked the powers under Article 125 of the Constitution and fined him Ksh500, 000. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Committee intends to carry out the following activities: consider the recently published Street Vendors Protection Livelihood Bill (Senate Bill No.10 of 2019) previously called Hawkers’ Bill and conclusion of the publication of the legislative proposal on the County Resource Development Bill. We intend to hold a meeting with relevant stakeholders on the implementation of industrial parks and special economic zones. Finally, we intend to hold a meeting with the State Department of Trade on issues of privatization and with the Ministry of Tourism and Wildlife to deliberate on enablers of local tourism and management of conservancies. I thank you."
