    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I will start by mentioning that those SMEs do not control the prices that they sell their products at. To a large extent, the big businesses dictate the prices. After such dictation, they again dictate the terms under which they are to pay. They may suggest 90 days or 160 days as I normally hear from the Floor of the House. If they do not pay you within that 160 days and extend it to 210 days and then in the end they do not pay you at all, what happens? We need to take action to protect the SMEs. One of my colleagues mentioned that we have so many authorities. Yes, that may be so. However, if those authorities assist Kenyans, I do not have a quarrel with them. If they are there and do nothing or duplicate what others are doing, then those are different issues that we need to sort out separately in order to bring them to line. However, if Kenyans are benefitting from their services, then why should we complain of their numbers?"
