    "content": "I also take this opportunity to thank the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning, Hon. Nyasuna, and the Leader of the Majority Party for seeing the logic of protecting trainee accountants because it is something that is very dear to me. I just had a conversation with the Member for Othaya and he told me that he trained as an accountant by just reading on his own. I asked him that supposing we told other young people in Othaya that they cannot train and he trained and qualified as an accountant, what would happen? Therefore, it is important even as we move forward to wholesomely look at the Accountants Act so that we better regulate the industry and sector such that I will be allowed to train and upon graduating and finishing my Section VI of the accounting profession, I can then enrol to be a member of ICPAK. As the Leader of the Majority Party says, for one to work or practise there must be continuous learning you go through ICPAK and probably be forced to meet certain qualifications that will enable you to be a member in good standing. We will continue to engage to ensure that we do what is in the best interest of the industry. I am happy that with the proposed amendments, we shall be able to protect our trainee accountants, students and young people in the country."
