"content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise pursuant Standing Order No.56(1)(b) to make a Statement relating to the activities of the Standing Committee on Trade, Industrialisation and Tourism for the first quarter of the Fourth Session covering the period between February and April, 2025. During the period under review, the Committee held 22 sittings, during which it considered 18 Statements and four Bills. The Committee considered the Budget Policy Statement (BPS) 2025 among others. The Committee recommended that prior to the embarking of Phase Two in the implementation of the County Aggregated Industrial Park (CAIPs), the Ministry of Investment, Trade and Industry should ensure that all the 19 counties that were in Phase One have fully implemented the CAIPs. The Committee undertook county oversight and networking engagements in Mombasa and Kwale counties. During this visit to Kwale County, the Committee visited the Shimoni Fishing Learning Site and the Kwale Aggregated Industrial park. In Mombasa County, the Committee visited the Dongo Kundu Special Economic Zone and the East African Tea Trade Association. Following the constitution of the Committee of the Senate, the Committee conducted a mini-induction retreat with the Ministry of Co-operatives and Micro and Small and Medium Enterprises Development and the Ministry of Tourism and Wildlife. The retreat enabled the new Members of the Committee to familiarise themselves with the relevant ministries and the relevant semi-autonomous Government agencies. It also allowed the Committee to interact with the leadership in the various ministries. The Committee will finalise its mini-induction with the Ministry of Investment and Trade, which is yet to happen because of scheduling issues. The Committee also conducted a retreat to consider the submission received on the Creative Economy Support Bill, 2024 and the Cooperatives Bill 2024. Mr. Speaker, Sir, during the period under review, the Committee considered the following Bills- (a) The Creative Economy Support Bill, 2024 (Senate Bills No.30 of 2024); (b) The Start-up Bill 2022 (Senate Bills No.14 of 2022); (c) The Cooperatives Bill, 2024 (National Assembly Bills No.7 of 2024); and, (d) The Business Laws (Amendment) Bill 2024 (Senate Bills No.54 of 2024). The Committee reviewed the amendments made by the National Assembly on The Startup Bill, 2022, (Senate Bills No.14 of 2022) with the Mover of the Bill."
