    "content": "No, that is not what I am saying. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have given an example of a woman who pulled herself out of poverty through a microfinance institution. This is a real issue. I have also given another example of a former robber who attended the workshop and offered us graphic details of what he used to do as a criminal, and what he is now able to do through a microfinance institution. Through assistance of a microfinance institution, that former robber is now able to employ people in his business. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I do not want to elaborate more because this is something that is actually a saviour for this country. It is something, as I said in my preamble, that is going to pull this country out of poverty. I am sure it will be a contributory factor in taming the wild and profit-hungry major banks in this country which do not have the ordinary Kenyan at heart. It will, in that event, help this country to move forward. We might, in the very near future, become not the \"Asian Tiger\", but the \"African Tiger\" in terms of development. We cannot pull ourselves out of poverty and become the \"African Tiger\" if we do not address the issue of accessing credit. We know that lack of credit in agriculture and small business has been a loophole which has given us very negative effects in terms of development. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, with those remarks, I beg to support."
