    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the Competition (Amendment) Bill in the sense that it will ensure that medium, small and micro enterprises are protected. Even as I support the Bill, it is important to highlight that I know of several farmers and businesspeople who have supplied their goods and services, but a year elapses before they receive their payments. I know of farmers from my constituency who supplied maize over two years ago, but are yet to receive their payments from the National Cereals and Produce Board. I know of small business people who have supplied goods and services, invoiced, paid KRA, but are yet to receive their payments. On the receiving end are small businesspeople and small-scale farmers who are at the mercy of giant companies, particularly those who enjoy a monopoly. I come from a region where tea farmers are always on the receiving end of the Kenya Tea Development Agency (KTDA).
