    "content": "Stage Amendments for the Street Vendors (Protection of Livelihood) Bill (Senate Bills No.10 of 2019) and The County Tourism Bill (Senate Bills No.3 of 2019), and will table its reports on the Bills in due course. With regard to Petitions, the Committee has conclusively dealt with two petitions and tabled the reports. Arising from the Petition on reviews of the laws relating to business premises, the Committee intends to introduce an Amendment Bill to amend The Landlord and Tenant (Shops, Hotels and Catering Establishment) Act of 1965. In the period under review, the Committee held consultative meetings with the national Treasury, Ministry of Industrialization and Enterprise Development, and Kenya Vision 2030 on the development of industrial infrastructure and the status of industrial parks, Special Economic Zones (SEZs), and Economic Processing Zones (EPZs); and also participated in the 8th African Grain Trade Summit (AGTS), held from 3rd to 5th October, 2019, at the Sarova Whitesands Hotel in Mombasa. Madam Temporary Speaker, during the period under review, my Committee experienced challenges in the execution of its mandate due to failure of the CSs to honour invitations by the Committee; and poor attendance by the public during the public hearings. The Committee intends to carry out the following key activities during the next quarter:- (1) Consideration of pre-publication scrutiny of a legislative proposal on the County Resource Development Bill. (2) Hold a meeting with relevant stakeholders on the formulations and reviews of laws relating to cooperatives and SACCO societies. (3) Hold a meeting with the State Department of Tourism on status of local tourism funding at the counties by Kenya Tourism Fund (KTF) and Tourism Finance Corporation (TFC); and with Ministry of Industry, Trade and Cooperatives to deliberate on alignment of Micro and Small Enterprise Authority (MSEA) mandates with devolved system of governance. (4) Conduct county inspection visits to check on the sugar industries and Government-owned hotels in Western and Nyanza Regions; and markets and county dairy industries in Central Region."
