    "content": " Hon. Temporary Chairman, I raised that issue at the beginning of the consideration of the Bill. You need to give us guidance in such circumstances because we were proposing additional arrangements to the clause. My amendment was addressing the issue of different bank tiers. As Hon. Caroli Omondi said different banks offer different services and serve different clientele. A blanket principle does not support the financial sector. We will go back to the dark ages of financial exclusion because of the terms of the major players. That is why we had sought your guidance at the beginning of the consideration of the Bill so that we could prosecute our amendments before the Committee prosecuted theirs. The Committee takes precedence, so if we had prosecuted our amendments first, we would probably have persuaded the Chairman to look at our recommendations as they make their further amendments. We were seeking your guidance on that. The process should be more organised and neater, so that we do not discourage Members from filing amendments."
