    "content": "The Chairman is here. We asked the underwriters why they cannot come and explain this. They said that they cannot do that because the brokers are the ones who create business for them. Every underwriter was scared of the brokers. They could not come to explain the problems that they face. It is the same with those Kenyan suppliers. They cannot complain against Nakumatt and big companies because they have the power of bargaining and they are scared that they will lose business. They are scared of being blacklisted by the errant suppliers, contractors or all the other buyers. They have to get a market. What happens? They do not want to go to the Competition Authority of Kenya. So, this amendment is making it mandatory for the Competition Authority of Kenya to investigate those suppliers who use the power of bargaining not to pay Kenyan suppliers. This experience has shown the very unfortunate reality of abuse of buyer power that has permeated across all the sectors of the Kenyan economy. In the end, it might even affect the achievement of the Big Four Agenda of President Uhuru Kenyatta."
