Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we are also bound to remember how the current President took over power on a wheel chair – the only known President in the whole world who took over power on a wheelchair.

9 Aug 2012 in National Assembly:
Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, under Article 16, there are provisions where it is mandatory that the new President will give an inauguration speech. It is important to recall that by then the whole country will be polarized because of political parties that will be competing for this very high office.

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for the chance to make my contribution to this very important law. As stated by the Minister, this will be the stimulus for economic growth for Vision 2030. It will facilitate creation of jobs for our youth in this country. It will also enable industrialization of our country, particularly in the 47 County Governments that will be created by the new Constitution by 2030. It, therefore, calls for the impediments and bottlenecks that have continued to frustrate investments in this country to be addressed through this law.

8 Aug 2012 in National Assembly:
Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the cost of electricity in this country to private investors has been the cause of a major cry. The cost of water has also been a problem. Land acquisition for the investors has also been a problem. Security challenges have also been a problem. Infrastructure in this country has been a problem to investors. We know acquisition of business licenses in this country has been a nightmare. In Rwanda, for example, private investors acquire licenses within the shortest time possible. With this law, that impediment will be addressed.
