(Ms.) Gathoni Wamuchomba","speaker":{"id":13244,"legal_name":"Gathoni Wamuchomba","slug":"gathoni-wamuchomba"},"content":"On my submission, I want to bring to the attention of the House the fact that the development we have had in the telecommunication sector in this country has created a lot of jobs for the young and old people and businessmen and women. In as much as I support that we should regulate every new innovation we have in this country including in the telecommunication sector. We must make sure we do so with a thought in mind that we must also protect innovations that have been made. I want to be on record saying that because I have listened to a few Members contributing today and have insinuated that we have money businesses that are not regulated; that F uliza, M-PESA and M-Shwari are regulated by the CBK, and they are duly licensed and legal businesses. To insinuate that Fuliza is a con business is not in order. It is important that we tread very carefully as a House so that we do not use the platform of this House to de-market people’s brands which they have worked so hard to establish and build."}
