    "content": "I would be in a position to help them borrow and get money and do their businesses and repay. So, this platform is key. We need to move from analogue to digital platforms. Many banks have adopted this. We need to support the move because it helps the wananchi in the villages where they cannot even access banks. In the constituencies, you realise that banks are more than 30 kilometres away. For you to travel that distance so that you can get a facility is a challenge. So, this platform will help Kenyans and make our country be like a village. Digital money transfer is key. The regulations by the Central Bank will be helpful to this country. They will enhance the economy and bring sustainable development. These platforms have even enabled people to start small businesses from scratch and grow and they have become bosses in their businesses. They conduct a lot of businesses through these platforms. Awareness of these regulations is key. We need the Central Bank to create awareness among Kenyans. We support the Bill because it is very important and has come at the right time. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I support."
