    "content": "I would like to say that this Bill needs to be checked properly and also be amended to cater for the very micro enterprises in the villages. I say this because many banks give money to the medium enterprises and leave the micro enterprises because they are not even registered anywhere. They are not even registered by the company registration. As the Vice-Chair has said, they have to be registered for them to be guaranteed. If it is a construction company, for example, bodies like the National Construction Authority (NCA) have to register that small enterprise company. The Bill caters for the same companies that have been catered for by the banks which have money for the Micro Small Enterprises. We are now providing guarantee for the same businesses. It is true that they are the drivers of our economy but there are smaller businesses that operate in our villages. The mama mboga has always been left out because she does not know where registration is done and whether it exists or not. We need a further amendment to cater for the lady selling sukuma wiki in the village. It should trickle down to our villages and voters. You will find that those ladies in our constituencies are the ones who are paying school fees and taking care of their families. The men, especially those who dropped out of school, are fond of going to towns to just drink tea and loiter around the whole day. These women are the ones who support their families. We need a further amendment so as to support the ladies who sell Sukuma wiki and cabbages and do small businesses in the villages so as to take care of their families. I would like to see the Bill enacted so that we have money circulating in the constituencies. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker."
