    "content": "of Insurance. This Bill seeks to empower Kenyans in their respective constituencies by allowing institutions like Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) colleges, universities, and other registered educational organisations to offer insurance education. This will make it easier for Kenyans across the country. Another key benefit of the Bill is its emphasis on clear structures that are simple in communication and better accountability. We have faced significant challenges in this country, where Kenyans insure their properties but struggle to receive compensation when accidents occur. Often, the brokers and legal representatives involved are difficult to trace as we do not know the locations from which they operate. We realise the very last minute when Kenyans have gotten some challenges. This Bill will help Kenyans identify trustworthy professionals to work with on insurance matters. Many have lost money and property due to dubious insurance firms. Just as we have professional marketers, myself being one, we need well-regulated insurance professionals guided by the law. This Bill also addresses cross-border issues. For instance, what happens when a Kenyan travelling to Uganda or Tanzania is involved in an accident with a foreign vehicle in a foreign country? This Bill ensures that professionals in Kenya and the East African region are covered and, therefore, it will assist us. Additionally, the Bill establishes the Insurance Institute of Kenya. The professional body will guide the sector and establish the right procedures and processes to ensure good conduct and instill discipline in this country. This year, I also had a challenge when I wanted to renew my insurance. I did not tell the people where I went to renew who I am. Someone claimed they could not insure my vehicle because of a claim against it. That was a pure lie. Therefore, I expect this Bill to bring transparency, proper communication and the right information. When Kenyans encounter a problem, they realise they lack the right information. Sometimes, there is hide and seek. Therefore, Kenyans suffer a lot."
