    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, the import of this clause was to help our youth and our agents to fit within a liberalized economy. What the law currently says is that an insurance agent cannot represent more than three underwriters. We are removing that law to give them an opportunity to represent as many as can appoint them. This amendment is seeking to deny our Kenyan youth that opportunity to excel by being appointed by more than three agents. This will be retrogressive. Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I would beg that the House reconsiders that amendment and we go with the spirit of what we promised the Kenyans; that we are going to empower them to give them jobs and to get them to work. I would not want to think of this House as sitting here to represent the interests of the bigger people and killing the smaller, young agents."
