    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the Competition (Amendment) Bill. This Bill attempts to cure the abuse of buyer power which falls within the mandate of CAK. Indeed, it is standard practice around the world and not just in Kenya that competition authorities are equipped with investigative powers. Of course, there are concerns in a country like ours that CAK might go to bed with the one who is abusing the buyer power. It is for this reason we would like to see sounder amendments to this Bill. Also, they should come out extremely clear. If you look at Section 24A(4) it states: “(4) The Authority may require industries and sectors, in which instances of abuse of buyer power are likely to occur, to develop a binding code of practice.” The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
