    "content": "This Bill will go a long way to assist Kenyans who are siphoned and fleeced to poverty by telecommunication companies that have political protection. They have monopoly which they guard in the market using political patronage. I talk about this monopoly with a lot of passion. When I bought my first SIM card, it was like purchasing land. I produced the name of my chief, identity card number, spouse and next of kin. It was enclosed in a container that looks like the one for shoe shining, but it was wider. Because of monopoly, when I bought that SIM card from Safaricom, it used to charge me Kshs56 per minute to call. Nothing has changed. Because more players have come into the market, we are now being charged Kshs3 per minute. Because of their large appetite for bigger or mega profits and fleecing the common mwananchi, they cunningly develop other ways using some loopholes in our laws to come up with a banking system that is not regulated, which is for fleecing innocent Kenyans. There is M-pesa, Fuliza, Mshwari and other lending platforms."
